If Meyer (an OSU employee) is aware that Smith (another OSU employee) is still smacking his wife around and doesn't report it, it's a Title IX violation. The victim doesn't have to be a student or another employee, it doesn't have to have happened on campus. If an OSU employee commits an act of DV or sexual assault, all those who are aware of it MUST report it or be fired.I have read most of the Primer and skimmed the rest. I see nothing in there of relevance to what the Meyers did or didn't do. It is largely about guidelines for filing complaints under Title IX vs Title VII. As far as the OSU HR policy, I am not sure of what you are showing me with this. Perhaps you misunderstood me. I am not questioning Zach Smith's behavior. Clearly OSU does not want criminal employees and would have policies against domestic violence. I am questioning how it is a Title IX violation to not report what Courtney Smith conveyed to them. It very well could be a violation, I am just looking for some type of validation of that. I am not so sure that some random tweet by Lori provides much confirmation. If Zach Smith was abusing an OSU student or other employee, OK, I see how that would have Title IX ramifications.
I don't know how much clearer I can make it.
