Emory University’s Office of Institutional Equity and Compliance makes it easy for someone to file a report of an alleged Title IX violation. A link at the top of their Title IX page leads to the promise of resources and supportive measures for complainants.

But if you are the one accused of being responsible for that purported violation, you’re not going to get much help from the school. Federal law requires the university to provide supportive measures for respondents accused of Title IX offenses, and the process of investigating and adjudicating the case is supposed to be conducted without bias.

However, respondents in past Title IX proceedings believed that adjudications at Emory have been biased in favor of the accusers. You can protect yourself from the harm caused by prejudice, inexperience, and ignorance about the complexities of Title IX law by working with an experienced Emory Title IX attorney at Nesenoff & Miltenberg. We have an unmatched record when it comes to Title IX representation. We know the issues and how best to protect your rights throughout the process.

What Is Title IX?

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is a federal law that prohibits educational institutions from discriminating on the basis of sex. In the decades since enactment, it has been used as a vehicle to pursue accusations that students, faculty, or staff have committed acts of sexual harassment or sexual violence.

What Happens if You’re Found Responsible for Committing a Title IX Violation?

Many students and their families are not too worried about a Title IX accusation because it does not carry the same consequences as a criminal proceeding. However, the results can be just as detrimental to your reputation and your future.

The process of investigating a complaint and assessing responsibility can occur very quickly, often before a student has prepared a defense or even fully understood the accusations. If the Title IX adjudicator on campus finds you responsible for a violation (which is the equivalent of “guilty” in a criminal case), thenpenalties often include suspension or expulsion. Often, however, the long-term stigma of a Title IX violation on the record causes the most damage to career prospects and personal relationships.

How an Emory Title IX Attorney Can Help

Emory University and other academic institutions often violate the rights of students accused of misconduct. Representation from a knowledgeable Emory Title IX attorney at Nesenoff & Miltenberg can prevent that from happening. Our team can:

• Analyze the University’s Sex and Gender-Based Harassment and Discrimination Policy to ascertain whether the rules comply with the requirements of current federal law
• Investigate to locate and preserve evidence to refute accusations of misconduct
• Evaluate the proceedings to determine whether the University complied with the mandates of its own policies and procedures
• Make certain that the University respects your substantive and procedural due process rights

We work to ensure that your side of the story receives full consideration. In many cases, it is necessary to put the matter before a judge before a respondent’s rights will be taken seriously. We pioneered legal strategies that enable accused students at Emory University to file suit against the institution regardless of the outcome on campus.
