If you're a student at a college or university in West Virginia and you find yourself the subject of a Title IX investigation, do not make the mistake of speaking to your school or others without taking the necessary precautions. Schools are often in a rush to judgment. Schools often do not consider a respondent's interests first, if at all. Due to an unfortunate dynamic behind Title IX, a complainant's interests are often considered or are often aligned with the schools and a respondent's interests are considered last, if at all. It's critical to level of playing field. Schools, they do not often provide the requisite notice or let an accused student know what's at stake in a Title IX case. Let your parents know what's going on. Do not speak to friends or others, especially the school. Have the help of an experienced attorney advisor helping you from as early as possible in the process.
