If you’re a student at Fordham University, and you’re accused of misconduct, you should not speak to the school or others without taking the necessary precautions. Too much is at stake. Fordham University will have specific policies as to how your case will be addressed and adjudicated. Understanding and successfully navigating these policies is important key to success.

As to which policy would apply, it will impart be dependent upon the specific offense alleged. Is it a Title IX sexual misconduct case? Is it an academic integrity, or an academic misconduct charge? Or is it a general disciplinary issue? You should also understand that Fordham University, as with all schools, unfortunately can be in a rush to judgment and does not have an accused student’s rights and interests in mind. That’s why an experienced attorney advisor can help protect an accuse student’s rights and interest, can help navigate the process and can potentially help allow for the most favorable outcome.
