It is important to understand the Title IX climate at your school. With the Me too movement and certain high profile cases that have made the news, schools are always looking out for their own interests. They do not want to be the next school that makes it in the news in a negative manner. Although Title IX may be well-intended, due to an unfortunate dynamic behind it, the complainants interests are often aligned with the schools, and the respondent's interests are considered last, if at all. So, the climate at your school as an accused party can unfortunately affect the case, if somebody is not looking out for your interests. An experienced attorney advisor can help protect your rights and interests through the process.
