Princeton University makes it easy for students to locate and access the school’s Title IX Coordinator. The labeling on the website leaves no doubt about the priorities of this position on campus. The focus is on complaints of violent sexual misconduct, even though Title IX was enacted to cover many other types of discriminatory actions. The Title IX Coordinator at Princeton also handles enforcement of the Violence Against Women Act.

Women who perceive that their rights have been violated clearly should expect to receive assistance from this office. However, although students who have been accused of sexual misconduct are entitled to university support under Title IX, it won’t be easy to find, and assistance provided by the institution is not likely to be effective.

To receive the right guidance and help defending against the allegations, an accused student needs to work with an experienced Princeton Title IX Attorney. The team at Nesenoff & Miltenberg knows how to achieve positive outcomes in campus proceedings as well as cases in federal court. Partner Andrew Miltenberg has successfully asserted the rights of Princeton students in high-profile situations, working to achieve results through comprehensive legal arguments drawing on students’ due process, contractual, and other rights.

Princeton Uses Two Different Standards to Handle Allegations of Sexual Misconduct

When an accusation of sexual misconduct is raised at Princeton, the case quickly becomes confusing because it could be handled under the University Sexual Misconduct policy or the Title IX Sexual Harassment policy. Princeton administrators have established both policies; the Title IX policy must comply with federal requirements while the other policy is not bound by the same restrictions regarding due process rights and other issues.

Which policy will apply in your case? That may depend on a variety of factors related to the alleged conduct. But the outcome could be extremely harmful, and your opportunities for defense will be limited under either policy, so it is a good idea to start working on defense as soon as possible with a team like ours that has experience at Princeton defending campus code of conduct violations as well as an extensive understanding of the nuances of Title IX law.

Your Future is at Stake

Unfortunately, many students do not realize the danger until they’re engulfed in it. Although allegations of sexual violence are prosecuted as crimes in many situations, when these accusations are handled through campus disciplinary proceedings, everything happens at a much faster pace.

The investigation may be conducted quietly and quickly, and before they know it, the students involved are expected to advocate for themselves in a hearing without any preparation or evidence to support their assertions. Both complainants and respondents can feel like they have not been given a fair hearing unless they work with a Princeton Title IX attorney who knows how to take advantage of every opportunity available in the process.

The damage to a student’s reputation caused by an unfavorable Title IX outcome is swift and hard to erase. Formally, the student can lose scholarships, the ability to participate in programs, housing, and the ability to complete their education and achieve career goals. Informally, the harm is often worse, with online information about the case spreading negative rumors that circulate indefinitely and appear anytime someone runs a search on the student’s name.
