Red Zone Primer (Student Conduct) (Higher Education Free Webinar Series)

This session examines the surge of hazing allegations, code of conduct violations, and Title IX complaints that typically arise in the first three months of the academic year. Participants will explore how early-semester dynamics—such as new student onboarding, organizational recruitment, and off-campus social activity—create jurisdictional, reporting, and policy classification challenges, including when conduct falls outside Title IX but remains actionable under institutional policies. Attendees will gain practical strategies for triaging reports, distinguishing between overlapping policy frameworks, and structuring fair, defensible adjudication processes that promote accountability while meeting federal and institutional requirements.

This webinar is a part of Bricker Graydon Wyatt’s 2026 – 2027 Higher Education Free Webinar Series. To register for additional sessions in this series, check out the 2026 – 2027 Higher Education Free Webinar Series page.
