How do I appeal a Title IX case in Delaware?

To best understand how to appeal a Title IX case in Delaware, it's best to have a brief understanding of what Title IX is. Title IX is a federal civil rights law that's intended in part to prevent and address campus sexual misconduct. Out of the schools that are in Delaware, almost all are going to be under the purview of Title IX.

Regarding an appeal itself, each school is going to have its individual policies, but many of these appeal grounds are similar, if not altogether identical. For example, disproportionate sanction, like a disproportionate sanction to the finding. New evidence, for example, new evidence that was not available during the course of the proceedings or would have been otherwise reasonably available, that is. Procedural defect or err, if there were some, say, failings on the part of the school during the course of the process that led to the finding. All of these potential grounds could be argued in a Title IX appeal.

One of the most important considerations at this stage is that an appealing party makes sure that they have the help of a experienced attorney advisor when they're appealing a Title IX case in Delaware.
