What is Title IX, and How Does It Apply to Students?

Title IX is a federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in educational institutions that receive federal funding. This includes protections against:

Sexual harassment and misconduct allegations
Gender-based discrimination
Retaliation for reporting misconduct

Under Title IX, schools and universities must investigate and respond to complaints of sexual misconduct. However, the process can be complex, and students involved in these matters often face significant consequences that require experienced legal guidance.

What Should I Do If I’ve Been Accused of a Title IX Violation?

If you have been accused of a Title IX violation, it is crucial to take immediate action to protect your rights. Here’s what you should do:

Remain Calm & Avoid Contact – Do not attempt to contact the complainant or discuss the allegations with anyone other than your legal counsel.
Review the Notice of Allegations – Carefully read any documents provided by your school, as they will outline the charges and your rights.
Consult an Experienced Title IX Attorney – Legal representation is critical in ensuring fairness, preparing a strong defense, and protecting your academic future.
Gather Evidence & Witnesses – Preserve any relevant texts, emails, social media posts, or other evidence that may support your case.
Avoid Self-Incrimination – Schools may conduct interviews that feel informal, but statements you make can be used against you in the process.

What Are My Rights During a Title IX Investigation?

As a student involved in a Title IX investigation, you have specific due process rights, including:

The Right to Notice – You must be informed of the allegations against you.
The Right to an Advisor – You are entitled to have an advisor or attorney present during proceedings.
The Right to Present Evidence & Witnesses – You can provide supporting documents and testimony to defend yourself.
The Right to a Fair & Impartial Investigation – Schools must follow non-biased procedures and ensure a fair hearing.
The Right to Appeal – If found responsible, you may have options to appeal the decision.

Our firm ensures that these rights are protected and upheld throughout the process.

What Happens If I’m Found Responsible for a Title IX Violation?

If a school determines that you violated Title IX, the consequences can be severe, including:

Suspension or Expulsion
Loss of Scholarships or Housing
Permanent Disciplinary Record
Impact on Graduate School & Career Opportunities

However, you have legal options. You may be able to appeal the decision, challenge procedural errors, or negotiate a resolution. Webb Consulting Group can analyze your case and advocate for the best possible outcome.
