Faculty

While Title IX is frequently invoked on campuses in the context of student-to-student infractions, faculty, and other instructional and extra-curricular program leaders, particularly in athletics, are far from immune to the impacts of the statute on campus life. In fact, faculty and other academic professionals are at risk in multiple ways.

“No one will protect your rights and your future better than we will.”

You may be brought up on Title IX charges for something you’ve said, taught, done, or are perceived to have done. You could be cited for failing to report a confidential communication, or you could be targeted by a student who’s looking for retribution over a grade or unrelated disagreement.

And while students are required to be given due process in a Title IX hearing, faculty hearings may be processed by a dean’s office.

When Should I Hire a Lawyer?

The bottom line is that there are many scenarios that may lead faculty to face disciplinary action or even termination under Title IX. If you’ve been asked to join a meeting related to such a situation, or feel like you’re in a hostile environment, you should contact an attorney quickly to protect your rights.

Legal representation will ensure:

• Plot a course and navigate any procedures with you
• Ensure you are given due process and fundamental fairness
• Preserve the record for a Title IX suit against your college or university if there is an adverse result
