Title IX Defense Attorney: Protecting College Professors Accused of Sexual Misconduct in Texas

Title IX of the Education Amendments was implemented to fight against gender discrimination in higher education. It is a law that prohibits any action that denies opportunities, rewards, or privileges to an individual or group based solely on their gender. In Texas, colleges and universities are required to uphold Title IX regulations by investigating and adjudicating incidents of gender discrimination occurring on campus.

Title IX has been used in various intercollegiate issues for years. More recently, it has been utilized primarily in cases involving sexual misconduct. There have been numerous reports that sexual misconduct is happening at alarmingly high rates on college campuses nationwide.

To put it simply, sexual misconduct is a form of gender discrimination. As such, when educational institutions receive word of any related incident, it is their responsibility to carry out a thorough investigation and determine if any disciplinary actions and sanctions are due.

Due to societal pressure from the public, survivors, and federal entities alike, schools can no longer afford to make the mistake of ignoring or mismanaging sexual misconduct cases. Any allegation cannot be taken lightly as they could bring about severe consequences affecting several aspects of life. College professors accused of sexual misconduct need to seek legal counseling from seasoned and experienced attorneys because the stigma associated with these allegations will undoubtedly impact all facets of life.

Do You Need Legal Representation?

Certainly! The harm caused by such accusations could be devastating for both tenured and nontenured faculty members’ careers. While we at Spodek Law Group wholeheartedly believe sexual assault is unacceptable under any circumstances, we also affirm that accused faculty members have civil rights which should be protected through due process.

Contrary to popular beliefs, schools may not always be fair and just organizations towards involved parties during investigations; as such institutions may make mistakes that could cost innocent people their reputation’s livelihood or even freedom. Institutions can become overly aggressive in their attempts to pursue complaints; this occurs due to the letter written by the Department of Education, implicitly threatening schools that ignore victim’s complaints with funding cuts.

This swing of the pendulum means that adversely accused parties face life-altering consequences. College professors require the help of experienced Title IX defense attorneys to keep their rights safe, hold schools accountable for inequities and achieve a fair and impartial trial.
