Responsibilities Administer University Minors on Campus policy and develop supporting procedures, standards, forms, and guidance. Provide subject-matter expertise on youth protection and safeguarding practices. Partner with academic departments, Summer Programs, Athletics, Admissions, Housing, Student Affairs, Research, Campus Safety & Security, Environmental Health and Safety, Human Resources, and other University areas. Review new and existing programs and provide guidance on supervision, training, background screening, documentation, emergency planning, and higher-risk activities. Conduct program compliance reviews and operational audits. Develop and deliver high level/standard training for program leaders, employees, student workers, volunteers, and others working with minors. Collaborate with other department personnel to review emerging risks involving digital communications, social media, photography, video, privacy, online contact, and other technology-related issues. Support appropriate mandatory reporting, internal escalation, and coordination with the offices responsible for Title IX, Clery Act, and other institutional reporting requirements. Lead continuous improvement efforts and provide compliance metrics and recommendations to University leadership. Provide recommendations and corrective-action guidance when programs do not meet University policy or applicable legal requirements.
