New York University has attracted considerable attention over the handling of Title IX cases, and none of that attention is positive. Looking at unrealistically low numbers of official Title IX complaints, many critics have seen signs of distrust between students and the institution or underreporting on the part of NYU. Administrators also met with considerable ridicule for telling one aggrieved student to rely on gossip as a means of procuring evidence protected by privacy restrictions.

These and other red flags should provide great cause for concern when an NYU student is accused of a Title IX violation. Institutions like NYU are focused on their reputation first and the wellbeing of students is far down on the priority list. Moreover, the university has been accused of exhibiting bias in the handling of Title IX accusations, so it is essential to be aware of rights and when those rights are at risk.

A knowledgeable NYU Title IX attorney at Nesenoff & Miltenberg can protect your rights if you’re facing accusations of Title IX misconduct. Even if a formal complaint has not yet been filed, it is wise to begin working on an effective defense strategy with an attorney who understands how to succeed in on-campus proceedings as well as in court.

Title IX Cases are Managed by NYU’s Office of Equal Opportunity

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is a complex series of legal obligations stemming from a deceptively simple statement. The law specifies that no one in the U.S. should be discriminated against on the basis of sex in educational programs.

The initial focus was on creating equal opportunities for males and females in sports and academic programs. As regulators expanded the reach of the law, the focus shifted dramatically. Now most complaints are filed by students alleging that another student has violated their Title IX rights through sexual assault or other forms of sexual violence such as stalking.

In other situations, this would be handled as a matter of criminal law, but on campus, cases can be investigated and adjudicated by entirely different rules as a Title IX proceeding. Those accused of a violation have fewer due process rights and a limited window of time to build a defense. It is crucial to begin working on defense vigorously as soon as allegations arise.

The Right NYU Title IX Attorney Can Make All the Difference

Regarding complaints, investigations, and assessments of responsibility for an alleged Title IX violation, NYU and other institutions establish their own policies and procedures that are supposed to comply with federal guidelines. An experienced NYU Title IX attorney can review the school’s rules to determine whether they appropriately protect students’ rights and to evaluate whether the school is accurately following those rules in handling the case. In addition, a knowledgeable attorney can help gather and present evidence to refute the allegations and advocate for a positive outcome with consequences that lead to the fewest potential long-term ramifications.
