Title IX due process rules

Описание: Title IX investigations involving sexual misconduct or sexual assault are serious. The problem is that accused students have long been without fundamental due process protections. Many times the process feels like a kangaroo court to an accused student. So much is at risk: expulsion, suspension, your transcript, ability to get into a different college or university, employment, athletic scholarships or participation, and your reputation. The U.S. Department of Education has released the long-awaited changes to Title IX in a document called the "final rule." Those changes are effective August 14, 2020. Universities can implement the changes earlier than that, but they MUST comply by August 14, 2020.

Title IX defense lawyer Ryan Pacyga discusses the major changes in the final rule. Ryan Pacyga protects students and faculty accused of Title IX violations, including sexual misconduct or harassment, as well as all of the other Title IX alleged violations across the nation. The changes include: 1) presumption of innocence for accused students/faculty (called the "respondent"); 2) the right to a live hearing, to be represented by a lawyer, and to cross exam the accuser and other witnesses; 3) access to the evidence and sufficient time to respond; 4) the right to a fair investigator and a neutral decision maker; 5) the right for colleges to use the higher burden of proof of "clear and convincing evidence" rather than merely "preponderance of the evidence."
