What triggers a Title IX investigation?
In most circumstances, Title IX requires Universities to take immediate action upon notice of allegations sexual assault or sexual harassment.
What to expect in a Title IX investigation?
If you are a student who has been accused of sexual misconduct, you should be prepared for Title IX proceedings. These proceedings include an investigation and, potentially, a hearing. The process can feel overwhelming. Before you try to take it on yourself, it’s best to first discuss your case with an experienced Title IX lawyer.
Though the prospect of a Title IX investigation might be frightening, it is important to understand that all is not lost simply because you have been accused. You will have an opportunity to present your case.
Title IX proceedings can lead to significant penalties that linger long after your educational pursuits are complete. The stakes are high. Successfully navigating a Title IX proceeding can not only help you to avoid the direct academic penalties, but you will be better equipped to move forward with your life uninhibited by the negative connotation created by the sexual misconduct allegations.
Why you need a Title IX attorney?
Campus disciplinary proceedings often operate similarly to a court hearing or trial, but hearing officers aren't legally required to abide by traditional court protocols.
Students are entitled to due process, which can look different depending on which college or university you attend. An experienced attorney can help make sense of the complicated (and often confusing) policies, rules, and protocols that apply to these proceedings.
An accused student may immediately feel at a disadvantage, simply because they are unfamiliar with this process. Because colleges can usher a student through swiftly, often before the student can even find their bearings.
The good news for accused students and their parents is you have the right to an attorney-advisor to help guide you through the disciplinary process. Having this support system can be crucial. An experienced advisor understands how student disciplinary hearings work and can help gather witnesses, compile evidence, advise you as to how best to respond to the charges, and prepare you for what is to come. An attorney-advisor's presence may help keep the school accountable to its own policies, so your due process rights are better protected.
