College students in California have various rights under federal and state laws. When a college or university in California violates these student's rights, there are recourses. Some of the most common violations of student's rights are under Title VI discrimination in education, Title VII employment discrimination, Title IX sex discrimination, and under the Americans with disabilities act, the ADA, reasonable accommodations for documented medical needs.
When there's a violation of student's rights, there are several avenues for potential resolution. For a public college or university, you can bring what's known as a 1983 claim, which is a violation of rights by a government body. You can also bring a claim under the state administrative procedures act, which specifies how the government must act and the remedies if it does not follow its procedures.
At a public or private university in California, you also have contractual rights under the school policies, including its code of conduct. You are entitled to rely on these rights, and if the school fails to follow the contract, you can bring a claim for breach of contract. It is critical to have the appropriate support when addressing these violations and an experienced attorney advisor would be your best ally to do so.

When a college or university in California violates a student's rights, you must have the necessary backing for a school to make the situation right. Whether subtle or overt, schools often reveal their hand by how they address school-related issues and concerns impacting their students.
This unfortunate dynamic can apply regardless of the nature of the issue or concern – a student may be facing an academic issue, a misconduct charge, or a wrongful dismissal. A student may be experiencing a failure on the school's part to satisfy its obligations to a student. A student may be experiencing an arbitrary or capricious action taken by the school against the student. Regardless of the nature of the matter, any school-related issue or concern must be properly and effectively addressed, and attorney Joseph D. Lento and the Lento Law Firm stand up when the bell rings.
