What is Title IX and Why Does It Matter?

Title IX is a federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in educational programs that receive federal funding. This includes sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating violence, and other forms of sexual misconduct.While Title IX aims to create safe campus environments, the investigative and disciplinary processes can sometimes lack fairness for accused students. That's where we come in - to ensure your due process rights are protected.Some key things to know about Title IX:

• Schools are required to promptly investigate all reports of sexual misconduct
• Both the accuser and accused have certain rights during the process

• Title IX cases are separate from any criminal proceedings
