The purpose of Title IX is to ensure that schools receive equal federal financial assistance and do not discriminate on the basis of gender, sex, or sexual orientation. It also requires that colleges and universities provide equal opportunities in admissions, academic programs, counseling, financial aid, scholarships, insurance benefits, and employment. This includes activities that are provided on campus and off-campus.
Schools that receive federal funding must comply with Title IX regulations, which prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex or gender. This includes student and employee access to admissions, programs, activities, financial aid, counseling, insurance benefits, and any other aspects of education or employment. Those that don’t comply risk losing their federal funding.
When a college student is accused of sexual assault or harassment, schools almost always begin an often-complex disciplinary process. These processes can include investigations, hearings, sanction boards, and student panels. These processes can lead to a variety of penalties, including loss of student housing, suspension or even expulsion from school. Duffy Law regularly defends students in these cases.
