To best understand how to appeal a Title IX case in North Carolina, it's good to have a brief understanding of what Title IX is. Title IX is a federal civil rights law that's intended in part to prevent and address campus sexual misconduct. At colleges and universities in North Carolina, if a party is seeking to appeal a finding and or sanction, the particular school's appealable grounds would have to be specifically met. Was there a procedural defect or error or a failing on the school's part that led to the outcome? Is the sanction disproportionate to the finding? Is there new evidence available? Is it a combination of appealable grounds? Because of what's at stake and because of what's involved, a party that's appealing a Title IX case in North Carolina should have the help of an experienced attorney advisor.
