Abstract

As internships are typically off-campus experiences with minimal supervision from educators, the legal role and responsibilities of educators in protecting and responding to such issues are not always clear, especially pertaining to the application of Title IX.

Their collective perspective offers insights on following the law and preparing students for potentially hostile environments.
