Heading Back To Campus? Know Your Title IX Rights And Protect Your Future.

  • By: Mark Satawa, Esq.

Heading Back To Campus? Know Your Title IX Rights And Protect Your Future.College is all about novelty, independence, and discovering where you would like your life to go. Unfortunately, with those new classes, friends, and freedoms also come new and serious responsibilities and possible unexpected legal challenges.

This is why it is so important to understand your Title IX rights.

What Is Title IX?

Title IX is a Federal law that prohibits sex-based discrimination in education, and also regulates how schools respond to allegations of sexual harassment and sexual misconduct.

What Are The Possible Consequences Of A Sexual Misconduct Allegation?

As a student accused of a Title IX violation, you could face…

  • Disciplinary action
  • Suspension or expulsion
  • Loss of campus housing or athletic opportunities
  • Damage to your academic and professional future

What Should You Do If Accused Of Sexual Misconduct As A Student?

If your college or university contacts you about a Title IX issue, be sure to read the notice carefully. You should also study what your school’s Title IX processes look like to be aware of what comes next.

Next, be sure to pay attention to any deadlines and preserve any relevant text messages, photos, or social media posts. Do not try to contact or talk to your accuser. And finally, reach out to an experienced criminal defense attorney before participating in an interview with the police or school administration.
