Understanding Title IX and Its Implications
Title IX is a federal law that prohibits discrimination based on sex in educational programs and activities that receive federal funding. While its primary focus is on ensuring equal opportunities for all genders, it also covers sexual harassment, sexual assault, and other forms of gender-based misconduct.At Oregon State University, any allegation of this nature triggers a comprehensive investigation process governed by strict policies and procedures. The consequences of being found responsible can be severe, ranging from disciplinary action, such as suspension or expulsion, to the potential loss of scholarships, athletic eligibility, and future career prospects.It’s crucial to understand that the university‘s investigation process is not a criminal proceeding. However, the outcome can have far-reaching implications for your academic and professional future. That‘s why it’s imperative to have a skilled Title IX defense attorney by your side from the very beginning.

You receive an email from Oregon State University's Office of Equal Opportunity and Access informing you that a fellow student has filed a Title IX complaint alleging sexual misconduct at an off-campus party. The notice states you have five business days to respond and that interim restrictions, including a no-contact order and temporary suspension from your residence hall, have already been imposed.
What rights do I have in OSU's Title IX disciplinary process, and can I bring an attorney to defend me during the hearing?
Under the 2020 Title IX regulations issued by the Department of Education, Oregon State University must provide you with a live hearing that includes cross-examination conducted by your advisor, who can be a licensed attorney. You have the right to review all evidence gathered during the investigation at least ten days before the hearing, and OSU must apply a standard of proof consistently to both parties. Oregon also has specific state-level protections under ORS 350.253, which reinforces due process rights for students facing disciplinary proceedings at public universities. Retaining experienced Title IX defense counsel immediately is critical because early intervention — including crafting your written response and challenging interim measures — can significantly affect the outcome of your case.
