Text Box: Volume 30, Number 1 August/September, 2009 Page # Text Box: Legal Advocacy Fund Text Box: New Initiatives LAF is crafting a manual and Program in a Box focused on campus sexual assault policies in collaboration with the AAUW Research Department, Harvard University Law Professor and Title IX expert Diane Rosenfeld, her students, and Students Active for Ending Rape.  These materials will educate individuals about Title IX sexual assault compliance requirements, provide them with tools to help ensure sexual assault policy enforcement, and give them programming ideas on prevention and enforcement. The materials will be released this month. Text Box: Military and Sexual Assault In late April AAUW and George Washington University co-sponsored an event called Military and Sexual Assault: A Discussion of Experience, Prevention, and Legislative Updates.  Visit the AAUW blog to read about the event and to view photos of speakers and local AAUW attendees.
