While schools have taken strides to revise and update their policies to reflect national standards, having something in writing doesn't mean the school bothers to put it into practice. It is important to familiarize yourself with your school's policies on student conduct and student-instigated crime. Policies on sexual assault, especially, should be readily accessible and easily comprehensible. If you find the policies are vague or seemingly inconsistent with national standards, schedule a meeting with your school's Title IX coordinator. Bring a recording device to your meeting; depending on your state's laws regarding covert audio recordings, you may or may not have to ask permission to record the meeting before it begins. Bear in mind, if the school representative declines your request to record your conversation, ask to reschedule for a date when you can have an advocate (witness) present.
Because school policies are designed to comply with Title IX and Clery requirements, any violations of policy should be closely compared to expectations spelled out in 2011's Dear Colleague letter, which elaborates on Title IX protections, as well as compared to Clery standards. If the policy violations are well-documented, you will be able to include this documentation in any federal complaints you may choose to file.
