How do I respond to a Title IX investigation in Oregon?

If you're a student at a college or university in Oregon and you find yourself the subject of a Title IX investigation, do not make the mistake of speaking with your school or others without taking the necessary precautions. Let your parents know what's going on. Make certain that your interests are protected.

Schools are often in a rush to judgment. Often they do not provide the requisite notice to an accused student before an interview takes place or to let an accused student know just what's at stake in a Title IX case. Title IX may be well-intended, but it's critical to protect your rights and interests. An experienced attorney/advisor can help do so and it's best if they're involved from as early as possible in the process.
