After 12 months of reporting, the Center for Public Integrity reached some troubling conclusions about how some colleges and universities collect and report sexual assault statistics, and how sexual assault cases are adjudicated in the campus judicial system. Kristen Lombardi and David Donald recently spoke about this project and how you can conduct a similar investigation in a one-hour IRE webinar.
This webinar will help you learn how to make sense of federal mandatory crime data, known as Clery data, how to identify and investigate cases, and how to better prepare yourself for potential reporting barriers. Lombardi and Donald also discuss broadly the federal laws at work in these proceedings, what they require of schools, and ways you can use public records requests to your advantage.The webinar was held Tuesday, February 23, 2010.
