    Students & Faculty Are Entitled To
    Due Process Under The Law

    Higher education institutions have become more aggressive in pursuing sexual misconduct investigations since the United States Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights issued a letter in 2011 about how schools should address sexual assault and misconduct to comply with Title IX.  Furthermore, The Education Department’s new policies have exacerbated reactions among higher education institutions, who are drawing a battle line against attempts by the administration to roll back protections for women.

    Accused students and/or faculty usually find themselves in the middle of an intensified  spider web of troubles when it comes to their schools internally trying them for claims of sexual misconduct by inflicting the schools own penalties, including expulsion, suspension and a permanent scar on their academic record that cannot be removed.

    Professors should be able to protect themselves with Tenure, but this process can also be undercut in universities that are too eager for a quick judgment against the accused.
    Disciplinary processes on school campuses are a far cry from the fair and impartial court proceedings. School disciplinary action can be run like arbitrary tribunals, denying the accused access to a lawyer, cross examination of their accuser, and a right to a fair trial.

     

    A Title IX defense lawyer is an attorney who specializes in representing individuals accused of violating the provisions of this law.

    Life Altering Consequences
    in Unfair Processes

    Those who find themselves on the wrong side of an unfair process often face serious consequences, including life-altering impacts if found guilty.  Without question or appeal there are repercussions that can follow one through their entire career path in higher education,  from being denied acceptance at undergraduate schools all the way up to becoming successfully employed as a professor,  to criminal and civil law suits.
    We are committed to advocating for those falsely accused.  Accused faculty and students have a right to due process.   The serious nature of the charges,  along with adverse consequences if found guilty make this fight critically important.  You need an attorney who understands the Title IX implications and can guide you through this complicated process so it doesn’t leave any lifelong scars or wounds on top of what you are already experiencing.

     

    There has been much controversy surrounding how schools handle Title IX accusations. Title IX attorneys play a crucial role in addressing gender-based discrimination on college campuses.
