If you’re a student at a college or university in Washington and you find yourself to subject of a Title IX investigation, do not make the mistake of speaking to the school or others without taking the necessary precautions. Title IX, it may be well intended, but due to an unfortunate dynamic behind Title IX, a complainant’s interests are often aligned with the schools and a respondent’s interests are considered last, if at all.
It’s critical to take these necessary steps so that an accused student’s interest and rights are protected. Schools are often in a rush to judgment, do not 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. Make certain that you have the help of an attorney advisor helping you from as early as possible in the process.
