Both you and your advisor need to understand your university's Title IX disciplinary process extremely well. That is the process that is going to be used to address and adjudicate the case. Title IX cases are very serious. Title IX may be well-intended, but due to an unfortunate dynamic behind Title IX, the complainant's interests are often aligned with the school's, and a respondent's interests are considered last, if at all. Schools are often in a rush to judgment. They do not have an accused party's interest and rights in mind, and at times they do not play by their own rules. That's why it's critical to understand your school's disciplinary process. An experienced attorney advisor can help understand your school's process, can best advise as to how to proceed, and can protect a student's rights and interests throughout the process.
