In April of 2024, the Department of Education approved New Title IX rules, which are scheduled to take effect on August 1, 2024. Our firm is closely monitoring ongoing challenges to these new rules in court, and is working hard to provide you the most up-to-date information. Click here to learn about the current state of Title IX and how we can help if you are facing accusations.
The Title IX Final Rule mandates that a school, when responding to a Title IX complaint, do so promptly, in a manner that is not deliberately indifferent, and in a manner that is clearly not unreasonable in light of the known circumstances. This is the guidance that a school would be required to meet when receiving a Title IX complaint. It will be case and fact-specific as to what would be prompt, what would, say, not constitute deliberate indifference, and also what would not constitute something that is clearly unreasonable. Having an experienced attorney advisor in your corner from as early as possible in the process can help you navigate the process and can help you work towards a fair process and a favorable outcome if facing a Title IX concern or a Title IX case.
