Title VI and Antisemitism: Compliance, Context, and Campus Response

October 1, 2026

This live traning provides a clear, practical understanding of how Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 applies to incidents involving antisemitism, Islamophobia, and other forms of shared ancestry discrimination. Designed for Title IX and equity coordinators, compliance officers, administrators, and investigators, this session equips institutions to respond to complex and high-profile matters with legal accuracy, cultural awareness, and consistent institutional practice.

As incidents of antisemitism and shared ancestry bias increase across the country, institutions must navigate federal compliance requirements while maintaining community trust and supporting free expression. This session guides participants through the evolving legal landscape, including recent Department of Education guidance, OCR investigations, and the practical tools needed to assess jurisdiction, analyze the totality of the circumstances, and implement supportive measures.

The cost of this training is $295 per participant and includes live instruction, case studies, discussion materials, and post event resources. Institutional flat rates are available for groups of ten or more.
