Kim Taylor is an accomplished higher education professional with a deep knowledge of Title IX and other compliance issues, drawing on her more than two decades of work within college campuses. She approaches Title IX complaints, reports, investigations, and resolutions with a sense of empathy and understands how to effectively communicate with students, faculty, and staff alike to educate and assist them as they participate in the Title IX process. 

 

As a Title IX Coordinator, Kim has been on the front lines of implementing sexual misconduct policies and processes in a context of changing regulatory requirements. Within this landscape, Kim has also conducted complicated investigations into allegations of sexual misconduct involving students, athletic teams, and college employees. She has developed, implemented, and maintained comprehensive programs to address and prevent gender discrimination in universities. She has expanded orientation materials and training sessions, whether virtually or in-person, to address ever-evolving federal regulations concerning sexual harassment and sexual violence. In turn, Kim has helped to create safe and respectful environments in which everyone involved is heard and their concerns are addressed.
