Title IX Lawyers for Complainants
This page is for students reporting sex discrimination, sexual harassment, sexual assault, or retaliation. Students accused in a Title IX or discipline process should use the school-discipline defense page.
What the law may give you
Rights, notice, and deadlines.
Title IX is codified at 20 U.S.C. § 1681 and implemented through 34 C.F.R. Part 106. The U.S. Department of Education states that the 2020 regulations are currently in effect after the 2024 rule was vacated. School, OCR, and court processes use different standards and deadlines.

Questions about this incident type
Practical answers before the next step.
Is this page for students accused under Title IX?
No. This page is for complainants. Accused students should use the school-discipline lawyer page, which addresses defense, hearings, sanctions, records, and appeals.
What are supportive measures?
Depending on the institution and current rules, measures can address safety, access, schedules, housing, classes, work, no-contact arrangements, and other needs without automatically determining responsibility.
Can retaliation after a Title IX report be challenged?
Title IX prohibits retaliation in covered circumstances. Preserve the protected report, adverse action, timing, decision-makers, explanations, and comparative treatment.
