Title IX and campus disputes

Informal resolution, and the litigation that follows.

As a Title IX hearing officer and adjudicator of equal opportunity complaints at the University of North Texas, I ran live hearings, weighed credibility, applied the institution's policy to a contested record, and wrote the determinations that followed. I know what the process asks of complainants, respondents, advisors, and the institution, and I know where it breaks down.

Informal resolution

Where the institution's policy allows it and both parties consent, I serve as the neutral facilitator for informal resolution of Title IX and sexual misconduct complaints, with the confidentiality and structure the regulations require. Sessions run by Zoom for parties anywhere in the country, or in person where it makes sense.

Litigation that follows

Mediation of the lawsuits campus proceedings produce: Title IX and due process claims against institutions, faculty and staff discrimination and retaliation claims, and disputes between students, employees, and their schools. Both sides get a neutral who has read a hearing record before and knows what a court will make of it.

For Title IX counsel

If your practice runs nationwide, so does mine. I mediate by Zoom in every state and travel when the matter calls for it. Flat rate, per side, the same as any other mediation. Check a date or email me about a matter.

Have a campus matter that should resolve before the hearing, or the lawsuit that followed one?
