Understanding Title IX at Westmont College

Westmont College, like all educational institutions receiving federal funding, must comply with Title IX regulations. But what exactly does that mean for you as a student? Let's break it down:Title IX prohibits sex-based discrimination in education programs and activities. This includes:

• Sexual harassment
• Sexual assault
• Dating violence
• Stalking

While these protections are important, Title IX investigations can sometimes infringe on the due process rights of accused students. That's where we come in.

The Title IX Process at Westmont College

If you've been accused of a Title IX violation at Westmont, here's what you can expect:

1. Initial Report: Someone files a complaint against you with the Title IX office.
2. Interim Measures: The school may implement temporary restrictions like no-contact orders.
3. Investigation: A Title IX investigator will gather evidence and interview witnesses.
4. Hearing: You'll have the opportunity to present your case before a hearing panel.
5. Decision: The panel will determine if you're "responsible" or "not responsible" for the alleged violation.
6. Sanctions: If found responsible, you may face disciplinary action ranging from probation to expulsion.

This process can be overwhelming, but you have rights. Our experienced attorneys will guide you every step of the way.
