Click here to learn about the current state of Title IX and how we can help if you are facing accusations.
Quid pro quo harassment and Clery Act and Violence Against Women Act offenses under the Title IX Final Rule are not evaluated for whether they are severe, pervasive and objectively offensive because this kind of misconduct is sufficiently serious that it would deprive a person to equal education access, which Title IX is designed to protect. Quid pro quo harassment, such as something being given in exchange by a school employee, a Clery Act offense, including sexual assault, a Violence Against Women Act, such as dating violence, domestic violence or stalking, these allegations or offenses are sufficiently serious that schools do not need to consider again the test that would otherwise be used.
If you're facing a Title IX sexual misconduct case, having an experienced attorney advisor in your corner from as early as possible in the process will help allow for a fair process and a favorable outcome.
