Title IX Advisor for College Professors in South Carolina

Gender discrimination is any action that denies opportunities, rewards, or privileges to a person (or group) solely because of their gender. It's perpetuated in numerous industries, and many argue it's become embedded in American culture.

To reduce the occurrences of gender discrimination in higher education, Title IX of the Education Amendments was enforced. Due to current federal guidelines, South Carolina colleges and universities are obligated to promptly and fairly adjudicate cases involving gender discrimination.

Title IX has been applied in a wide range of intercollegiate issues throughout the years, but recently, it's most commonly utilized in cases involving sexual misconduct. If you haven't been living under a rock the past couple years, you've heard that sexual misconduct is occurring at epidemic-like rates on college campuses. 

In any and all of its forms, sexual misconduct falls under the umbrella of gender discrimination. Thus, when colleges receive word of an incident, they are supposed to conduct an investigation, determine responsibility, and (if applicable) enforce disciplinary actions and sanctions. 

Because of pressure from the general public, survivors, and federal entities, schools cannot afford to make the mistake of ignoring or mismanaging cases. Allegations will not be taken lightly, and the stigma these allegations carry will undoubtedly affect all aspects of your life. This is why it's critical for college professors who have been accused of sexual misconduct to seek strong and experienced legal counsel.

Why You Need Legal Representation

The career damage suffered by professors, with or without tenure, can be devastating. While we at the Lento Law Firm wholeheartedly believe that sexual assault is unacceptable under any circumstance, we also believe that accused faculty members are entitled to civil rights and due process.

Many people are under the impression that schools are always fair and equitable institutions. But in reality, sometimes schools don't play by their own rules. In a swing of the pendulum, institutions that were once lax and arguably apathetic in their approach to adjudication are now aggressively pursuing complaints - all due to the Department of Education's letter that subtly threatened to strip funding in schools who ignored victims. Consequently, the repercussions for the falsely accused are life-altering. With the help of a seasoned Title IX defense attorney, college professors can keep their rights intact, hold the school accountable for any inequity, and achieve a fair and impartial trial.

South Carolina Title IX Advisor

If you are a professor at a college or university and have been accused of sexual misconduct in South Carolina, it's imperative you retain legal counsel. Even the most competent school system isn't designed to play investigator, judge, jury, executor, and appellate court for sexual misconduct. Higher education institutions are bound to make mistakes that can cost innocent people their livelihood, reputation, and even freedom.
