Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX) provides an avenue of legal relief for victims of sexual abuse and harassment at educational institutions. It bars discrimination “on the basis of sex” in an educational program or activity receiving federal funding. Although Title IX makes no explicit reference to sexual harassment or abuse, the Supreme Court and federal agencies have determined that such conduct can sometimes constitute discrimination in violation of the statute; educational institutions in some circumstances can be held responsible when a teacher sexually harasses a student or when one student harasses another. Title IX is mainly enforced (1) through private rights of action brought directly against schools by or on behalf of students subjected to sexual misconduct; and (2) by federal agencies that provide funding to educational programs.

Title IX is a lucrative source of litigation for the plaintiff’s bar, as prevailing Title IX plaintiffs may recover attorney and expert fees. An exhaustive, professionally-prepared Title IX investigation is not only administratively mandated; such an investigation may also help insulate your organization in three important areas:

• A determination of whether or not a Title IX violation actually took place.
• Mitigating violations where they may be present.
• Denying liability where no violations have occurred.

Moreover, the process of performing a professional Title IX investigation may, in and of itself, offer some relief to the institution, even in those instances where a violation may have actually occurred.[1]
