Title IX, Sexual Misconduct, and the Violence Against Women Act

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX) (20 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq.; 34 C.F.R. Part 106) (as amended) is a federal law that prohibits sex-based discrimination, including sexual harassment and sexual assault, in education programs that receive federal financial assistance.

The Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013 (VAWA) imposes new regulations on colleges and universities related to sexual misconduct including the expansion of Clery crime categories and policy, education, and training requirements.
If you have experienced sexual violence and need support, Resilience is here to help. Wright Graduate University offers the services of a “Confidential Advisor”, which is as an individual retained by a higher education institution who has certain mandated training and has the duty and ability to provide emergency and ongoing support to students who have experienced sexual misconduct.

Potential Occupations Based on SOC Codes

Placement Rates by Year

Placement Methodology:

Employment is reported based on graduates’ primary program.

Students who earn certificates while enrolled primarily in the Master of Arts are reported as “continuing education” for each certificate graduation and counted as “employed” only in relation to the Master of Arts.

If no student graduates from a certificate program as his/her primary program, and no student withdraws from the MA having completed only certificates, the year is listed as n/a.

Graduate Population: The number of graduates in a calendar year.

Calculation: The number of the graduate population employed in their field based on job titles, skills, or benefit of the training by 90 days following graduation, divided by (the total number of graduates during the period, minus those who are unavailable for work due to medical, continuing education, active military, VISA or incarceration).

Example: If 10 students graduated, and of these, 5 were placed in their field on or before 90 days  following graduation, and 3 decided to continue their education, the placement rate would be calculated as: 5/(10-3)=71%

Any student who is considered a graduate of one program but is continuing their education in another program during the same calendar year will NOT be considered for placement in the original program they graduated from.

This methodology allows for one-time placement of each student upon completion of their final program and exit from the school.

In the event of a student’s withdrawal from an additional program but successful completion of a (lesser) program, the student will be recorded as a graduate and their placement reported in their final completed program.

Example 1

A student enrolls in the Master’s program and concurrently enrolls in the graduate certificate programs. In his sixth month of enrollment, he graduates from the Social Intelligence certificate. Because he is still completing the Master’s program, he is not considered for placement. At the end of the full 27 months, he graduates from the Master’s program and is tracked in the Master’s program’s placement data.

Example 2

A student enrolls in the Master’s program and concurrently enrolls in the graduate certificate programs. In his first six months of enrollment, he graduates from the Graduate Certificate in Social Intelligence program (SI). In the seventh month he withdraws from the University and does not complete any other program. Because he has completed the SI certificate, he is tracked in the SI program’s placement data only.

Example 3

A student enrolls in the Master’s program and concurrently enrolls in the graduate certificate programs. In his sixth month of enrollment, he graduates from the Graduate Certificate in Emotional Intelligence program (EI) and in his ninth month he graduates from the Graduate Certificate in Transformational Coaching (TC) program. In the tenth month he drops from the University and does not complete any other program. Because he has completed the TC certificate last, he is tracked for placement in that program.

Retention Rates

Retention Methodology:

Student Population: The total number of students who attended during the calendar year.

Calculation: The student population minus any student who withdrew during the calendar year.

Example: If 10 students attended during the 12 month period, and 2 withdrew during the period, (10- 2)/10= 80% retention rate.
