HEARING OFFICER + APPEAL SERVICES

Pending the new 2018/2019 Title IX regulatory requirements pertaining to the availability of remedies for violations, Colleges and Universities will likely soon be required to provide both an investigation and a live hearing for the parties. Currently, many Colleges and Universities have provided a party to a Title IX matter the right to an appeal on procedural or substantive grounds. In the aforementioned circumstances, an external hearing officer may be necessary.

As with Title IX investigations, Title IX hearings require a deep understanding of the applicable policy, careful attention to the facts, and sensitivity to the needs of the parties involved. A prompt, thorough, and impartial lens is required in conducting both a neutral hearing and/or an appropriate appeal review.

As an experienced Title IX administrator, our attorney provides prompt services as a neutral and fair hearing officer. Further, if necessary, our attorney evaluates the appropriateness of the scope of the hearing and/or the appeal and ensures consistency with the client’s appeal policy. In the context of a hearing, a well-reasoned and supported explanation for each of the findings will be provided to the client.
