What Is Title IX?

Title IX is a federal law, 20 U.S.C. §1681, enacted in 1972 prohibiting gender-based discrimination in educational institutions that receive government funding. Since almost every college and university accepts some kind of federal funding, Title IX applies at almost every school. These schools are required to investigate many sex-based allegations of misconduct and consider relevant evidence submitted by the accused person. The accused can suggest witnesses, offer written and electronic evidence like text messages, and can even appeal an unfavorable decision.

The Role of a Title IX Defense Lawyer

Title IX cases can be quite complex, and you must be able to adeptly defend yourself to protect your rights and your standing at your college or university. Knowing whether to speak to the Title IX investigator, how much information to provide, and when to provide it is not always intuitive, especially when your words and actions may carry criminal consequences. Whoever made the allegation against you is likely trying to prove your guilt, and the information you give to the investigator could mean the difference between a finding of guilt or innocence. You do not have to face a Title IX investigation alone. You have the right to choose an attorney to defend you. Our Lynchburg Title IX attorney will work closely with you to help you understand the process and build a strong defense for your case. We will gather evidence, interview witnesses and build your case to fight the allegations against you.
