Click here to learn about the current state of Title IX and how we can help if you are facing accusations.
Under the Title IX Final Rule, retaliation charges would be handled by a school by using the school's prompt and equitable grievance processes. In terms of best practices, a school should have policies in terms of handling a retaliation charge or retaliation allegations that would be similar or would mirror the school's prompt and equitable grievance processes for the Title IX case itself. Although there may be some variations, it should allow an accused party substantially similar if not identical rights to what would take place during the Title IX grievance process.
A retaliation charge is a very serious matter. Having an experienced attorney advisor can help you best protect your rights and interests and should be involved as early as possible in a Title IX case.
