What You Need to Know About Title IX
Title IX is a federal law that prohibits sex-based discrimination, including sexual harassment, assault, and gender-based violence, in educational institutions. Schools receiving federal funding must investigate and address complaints, ensuring a safe learning environment.
However, many complainants face obstacles such as delayed investigations, procedural failures, and institutional bias that can weaken their case. With legal guidance, you can navigate these challenges and hold your school accountable.
You have the right to a fair, unbiased process—let’s make sure you get it.

Myths About Title IX Complaints
- “My school will handle this fairly.” → Schools often protect themselves first, not necessarily survivors.
- “I can handle this on my own.” → Without legal support, schools may overlook key evidence or violate due process.
- “If I file a complaint, I’ll face retaliation.” → Title IX protects you from retaliation, and legal counsel can ensure enforcement.
