College students in Wisconsin have various rights under federal and state laws. If a college or university in Wisconsin violates a student's rights, there are recourses. Some of the more common areas for violations are under Title VI, discrimination in education, Title VII, employment discrimination, Title IX, sex discrimination, and under the Americans with Disabilities Act, the ADA, reasonable accommodations for documented medical needs.
If there is a violation of student rights, there are different avenues for resolution. If it's a public college or university, you can bring what's known as a 1983 Claim, which is a violation of rights by a governmental body. You can also for a public school, bring a claim under the State Administrative Procedures Act, which specifies how the government must act and the remedies for them not following their procedures.
Whether the school is public or private, you have contractual rights under the school policies, including its code of conduct. You're entitled to rely on these rights and if the school fails to follow the contract, you can bring a claim for breach of contract. It's critical to have the necessary support to address these violations. An experienced attorney advisor will be your best ally to do so.

This unfortunate dynamic can apply regardless of the nature of the issue or concern – a student may be facing an academic issue, a misconduct charge, or a wrongful dismissal.
