Mandatory Reporting of Sexual Violence by Faculty and Staff at Hometown University: An Evaluation Study
McGhee, James D., Jr.
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, University of Southern California
Sexual violence is a significant problem on college and university campuses in the United States affecting large percentages of students during their studies and later in life. To confront this alarming issue, the United States Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights issued new guidance under Title IX of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to colleges and universities beginning with the "Dear Colleague Letter" in April of 2011. The guidance was broad and included a requirement for institutions to identify faculty, staff, and students to serve as Mandatory Reporters based on the types of relationships which they have with students. The purpose of this study was to determine the degree to which Hometown University is meeting its organizational goal of creating a safe learning environment for students. Knowledge, motivation, and organizational influences affecting Mandatory Reporters were identified using the Clark and Estes (2008) gap analysis model. Interviews and document analysis of participant reflections revealed four themes elucidating two knowledge influences, two motivation influences, and two organizational influences. Additionally, this study recommended a comprehensive learning and training program for Mandatory Reporters to address the identified knowledge, motivation, and organizational gaps. The recommended training program implementation and evaluation is guided by the Kirkpatrick and Kirkpatrick (2016) New World Model for Evaluation, and the four levels of implementation and evaluation tools are detailed. Finally, recommendations for further research are presented. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
