Title IX
Title IX Lawyer in Boston
Title IX requires colleges and universities who receive federal money to stop sexual harassment or violence on their campuses. Under this law, colleges and universities must have policies and procedures in place for students to make complaints and for the institution to address those complaints. As a Title IX lawyer in Boston, Gordon Law Group, LLP helps protect victims’ rights.
Understanding Title IX Protections
Title IX protects students as well as employees (teachers, coaches, administrators) from discrimination, violence, or sexual harassment. While Title IX is most associated with colleges and universities, it also extends to students and employees at the K-12 level.
If you were the victim of a Title IX violation, you have the right to file a report. The law also gives you the right to present your case with evidence. A sexual harassment attorney can help you investigate and establish your complaint.
The school must thoroughly investigate the complaint and then communicate the outcome to the person who filed the issue. Students, administrators, teachers, and coaches MUST all be free from retaliation for making or supporting those complaints.
