You Will Need the Help of a Professional Title IX Advisor

For three reasons:

1. The Process is Complicated

Title IX misconduct proceedings answer to many authorities: federal regulations, federal laws, state laws, state and federal court decisions, school policies, and unspoken whims and interests of school administrators. It would be unfair for schools to expect accused students and faculty to be aware of all of these, navigate them effectively, and assert their rights when necessary and at a moment’s notice. And yet, they do.

Being found guilty (“responsible”) can result in suspension, expulsion, denial of employment, denial of occupational licensing, referral for criminal prosecution, or even (if you are an immigrant) loss of immigration status and deportation. This is in addition to the impact that an “official” punishment can have on relationships with friends and loved ones.

Schools have been under tremendous pressure to crack down on misconduct, especially sexual misconduct. Above all, they are interested in minimizing their liability, too often treating finding the truth of secondary importance. This is why, since 2011, nearly 900 students have filed lawsuits against their schools alleging that their rights have been violated in Title IX proceedings.

Here’s How We Help

We can help you at any stage—from report to investigation to adjudication—with the goal of achieving the best possible outcome. Click a tab below to learn more about how we can help at each stage.

  • Crafting and helping you execute a defense strategy that is tailored to the allegations against you and your specific circumstances

  • Raising timely objections to unfair proceedings based on an understanding of relevant regulations, laws, best practices, and the school’s policies

  • Crafting written communication to administrators that portrays you and the evidence in as favorable a light as possible

  • Navigating confusing or vague no-contact orders and pushing back on such “interim/supportive measures” when they are excessive, self-contradictory, or unfair

  • Evaluating and helping you navigate school policies which are sometimes misapplied, confusing, vague, or contradictory

  • Requesting dismissals of allegations when the school must dismiss them, or when it makes sense to ask the school to exercise its discretion to dismiss them

  • Requesting extensions or accommodations to assist you with academic, well-being, or other matters

  • Evaluating, submitting, obtaining, and preserving evidence

  • Helping you practice telling your story to investigators: what you should include, exclude, emphasize, and how you should tell it

  • Evaluating what situations are favorable or unfavorable for counter-complaints, drafting them, and helping you argue them

  • Documenting meetings in the event that the record is contradicted by administrators or the adverse party

  • Drafting critical responses to investigative reports and evidence exhibits that decision-makers rely on for determining guilt or innocence.

  • Evaluating and gathering supportive witnesses
  • Cross-examining adverse parties and witnesses
  • Preparing you for tough questions during the hearing

  • Drafting your opening and closing statements with the goal of persuading the decision-maker to agree with your version of events

  • Drafting appeal documents with the goal of overturning a “guilty” outcome and/or reducing the punishment

Alternative Resolution

This is an opportunity to resolve the allegations in a way that minimizes disruptions to all parties’ education and life. We can assist with critical communication during this phase.

Pre-Investigation / Initial Response

When a report has been made to the school alleging that you have committed misconduct but before a formal complaint has been signed and a formal investigation initiated, your rights exist in a gray area where schools have broad discretion. We can assist with emergency matters that arise in this phase, such unreasonable actions by the school that disrupt your housing and education. Learning to strategically manage your communication regarding the allegations and establishing your support network are also key during this phase, and we can help with both.

Probation

In the event that you are required to sanctioned (punished) with probation, managing the requirements of probation can sometimes be tricky. We can help.

Experienced Specialists

There is often a big difference in outcomes between those who engage the services of a Title IX specialist and those who do not. For us, Title IX is not one area of work among many; it is our core focus. We have been working on Title IX matters since 2010, before they became a regular issue for the courts or the subject of a back-and-forth regulatory battle by presidential administrations.

We regularly research Title IX litigation, policy, and best practices. Our research has led us to create the Accused Students Database, the only database of its kind that tracks litigation by students who allege they were treated unfairly in Title IX grievance procedures. This database is used not only for our own research, but also by education and legal professionals, advocates, media, and more.

Regulations governing Title IX misconduct proceedings provide that accused students may be assisted by an “advisor of their choice, who may be, but is not required to be, an attorney.” We understand, as the Department of Education did when it wrote those regulations, that most students have little to no money tree to shake and need assistance throughout a complicated and high-stakes process. For their benefit, we offer advisory services at a fraction of the cost of an attorney that specializes in Title IX matters.

Because of the highly sensitive and impactful nature of these cases, students need to know that the person assisting them is fully “in their corner.” Our mission has long been to advance the rights of the wrongly accused in the education system. We have done this by assisting individual students, raising awareness of the issues, and advocating for fairness at local, state, and federal levels. Because of our advocacy, we are instinctively aware of the interests at work in the education system and can anticipate certain things before they happen for the benefit of our clients.
