The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has been known to make procedural mistakes when handling Title IX complaints on campus. Their approach can be biased in favor of complainants, depriving respondents of their due process and other rights.

At Nesenoff & Miltenberg, we are well aware of these propensities because we have represented students at UNC Chapel Hill and investigated the issues in great detail. Our ground-breaking legal work established due process right to cross-examination in Title IX cases and other serious campus disciplinary proceedings hinging on credibility determinations.

We know the flaws in the system at UNC Chapel Hill and how to protect the rights of those accused of Title IX violations. To guard your reputation, it is wise to begin working with an experienced UNC Title IX attorney as soon as allegations arise, even if a formal complaint has not yet been filed. Early intervention can help us resolve the matter quickly on campus without the need to appeal in court. Of course, if a court case becomes necessary, our extensive experience advocating on Title IX issues in local federal courts and the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals positions us to succeed in achieving our clients’ goals.

The University Uses Two Different Policies to Handle Sexual Misconduct

Virtually all colleges and universities in the U.S. are required to adopt rules to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex in compliance with federal Title IX guidelines. These guidelines change frequently, and the University policies may not necessarily be in compliance. So, one reason it is crucial to work with an experienced Title IX defense lawyer if you’ve been accused of a violation is that your attorney can analyze the school policies and determine whether they meet federal requirements.

When the alleged conduct in a particular situation falls under Title IX jurisdiction, then the University’s Policy on Prohibited Sexual Harassment Under Title IX should be applied. In other situations, a matter may be addressed as a potential violation of the University’s Policy on Prohibited Discrimination, Harassment and Related Misconduct Including Sex-Based Harassment, Sexual Assault, Interpersonal Violence and Stalking.

Students accused of a violation may not be told initially which rules they violated, so it is a good idea to work with a legal team like Nesenoff & Miltenberg that not only has extensive experience in Title IX adjudications on campus but also with successfully defending students accused of other violations of other campus code of conduct rules.

With So Much at Stake, Prompt Action is Essential

Students accused of sexual assault, stalking, intimate partner violence and other forms of sexual misconduct often find the cards stacked against them by University administrators eager to demonstrate that the campus does not tolerate wrongful behavior. They often rush through an investigation and quickly assess penalties to appear compassionate to the alleged victims.

We know that’s not fair, and we know how to show that it’s not legal. It’s best, however, if we can work with an accused student from the very beginning and prevent such biased conduct from influencing the outcome of campus proceedings. The sooner a knowledgeable UNC Title IX attorney begins working on the case, the more opportunities we have to protect the student’s rights and reputation and secure a positive outcome.
