Title IX is a federal civil rights law that's intended in part to prevent and address campus sexual misconduct. If a person is a student or faculty member at a college or university in Kentucky, and if they find it necessary to appeal a finding and/or sanction for a Title IX case, the appealable grounds that are going to be most effective would have to be decided upon, will be, say, a procedural error or defect, a failing on the school's part, that is that led to the outcome will be a disproportionate sanction to the finding, will be new evidence that was now available that was not reasonably available at a prior time when the appeal was submitted to the school.
