At Spodek Law Group, our nationwide law firm understands the importance of a high-quality education. That’s why we want to ensure that students at Dartmouth College are protected from false or exaggerated sexual-misconduct allegations that can derail their education, career, and reputation. In this article, we will explain how expert representation by Attorney Todd Spodek and his team can help you successfully defend against such charges.

Dartmouth College is one of the oldest colleges in the nation, predating the formation of the United States. With a rural, 237-acre campus and over 4,500 undergraduate students and 2,100 graduate students, Dartmouth is committed to preparing students for a lifetime of leadership.

However, an academic and residential experience at any college or university, including Ivy League institutions like Dartmouth, can lead to conflict within intimate relationships, sometimes leading to sexual-misconduct charges. Dartmouth College, like other federally funded institutions, maintains a Sexual and Gender-Based Misconduct Policy that satisfies federal Title IX requirements. It is essential to have a deep understanding of Title IX and the college’s policy to successfully navigate any sexual misconduct allegations.

At Spodek Law Group, we understand that these allegations can be life-changing, and that is why we take them seriously. We know that colleges and universities that receive federal funds, like Dartmouth College, must adopt and enforce Title IX’s prohibition against sex discrimination. Our team is well-versed in the Title IX laws and the Dartmouth College Sexual Misconduct policy. We also understand that colleges and universities may define sexual misconduct more broadly than Title IX defines it. That is why we work hard to ensure that our clients understand the definition and the policy in full.

Dartmouth College’s Sexual Misconduct policy includes broad and vague definitions, which can implicate much sexual and non-sexual behavior. This, in turn, increases the risk of false or unfair sexual-misconduct charges at Dartmouth College. The definitions create an interpretive minefield that demands the knowledge, skill, and experience of expert counsel like Attorney Todd Spodek and his team at Spodek Law Group.

The procedures that a college or university uses to determine the truth of sexual-misconduct allegations are critical to the reliability and fairness of the outcomes. At Dartmouth College, the procedures are well-defined and have specific requirements that must be met. Our team is well-versed in these procedures and can guide you through every step of the process.

Our team understands that the stakes of a sexual-misconduct charge at Dartmouth College are just as high as at other institutions. That is why we don’t assume that a charge means a violation. We work hard to defend our clients against false or exaggerated charges. Dartmouth College’s procedures create substantial opportunities for our team to expose the weaknesses in misconduct cases.

We know that being accused of sexual misconduct can be a daunting experience. It is crucial to retain skilled and experienced representation to help you navigate this difficult time. At Spodek Law Group, we have the knowledge, resources, and expertise to help you through a disciplinary proceeding at Dartmouth College for the best outcome.
