Title IX Violations – What You Need To Know

Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 relates to sexual discrimination in federally funded schools. Under this law, discrimination, assault and harassment are punishable offenses. Retaliation, discrimination based on pregnancy and gender identity, and unequal opportunity regarding technical education programs and athletics also fall under this law. Schools must take immediate action to investigate any reports.
This means if you have been accused of sexually harassing or discriminating against someone else on campus, you could face serious penalties.
Consequences of a Title IX violation include:

• Suspension
• Expulsion
• Probation
• Mandatory counseling
• Social stigma as a sex offender
• Other disciplinary actions

Title IX offenses could also lead to criminal charges of sexual harassment, assault, rape or other violations. Parents, students, teachers, staff members and applicants for employment are protected under this law.
If you have been involved in a situation that could lead to an accusation of a Title IX violation, it is important to seek experienced legal counsel. Our attorneys have represented numerous clients against allegations of sex crimes.

Aggressive Representation For Title IX Disciplinary Hearings

Under Title IX requirements, schools must take swift action to investigate any instances of sexual assault or discrimination. If they fail to do so, they may lose their federal funding. This means a school must conduct a disciplinary hearing when any complaint of sexual discrimination arises. However, these hearings are usually biased against the defendant. Having a knowledgeable Manhattan criminal defense lawyer on your side can help ensure your rights are upheld throughout the process.
