Investigations
Navigating Title IX
Do you have questions about the laws and regulations related to Title IX? Are you considering making a Formal Complaint under Title IX? Have you just received a notice of allegations and investigation? Have you been asked to serve as someone's advisor in a Title IX hearing? If so, you've come to the right place. If you have not already, please review our Sexual Misconduct Policy and Procedures.
Generally speaking, each case that falls under the jurisdiction of the Office of Title IX begins with a formal complaint. After receiving a formal complaint, the Title IX Coordinator sends out official notices to all involved parties and the investigation process begins. During the investigation, all parties get the opportunity to review and comment on the relevant evidence and information gathered by the investigators. After the investigation is concluded, a live-hearing occurs where it is determined whether or not a policy violation occurred. After the hearing, each party has certain opportunities to appeal.
