• Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972
  defines that no person in the United States
  shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from
  participation in, denied the benefits of, or
  subjected to discrimination under any education
  program or activity getting Federal financial
  help."
• Sexual assault is one of the most serious
  offenses a person can face in college. Victims of
  sexual assault and witnesses or other parties can
  report the incident to the Title IX coordinator
  for investigation. Both victim and accused can
  and should seek the help of a qualified attorney
  as soon in the process as possible. Lawyer will
  ensure that basic rights to fair proceeding are
  preserved, access to relevant evidence, and right
  to present own evidence.
• Sexual harassment can be physical, verbal, or
  visual. School is obligated to investigate the
  claim under Title IX procedures, which guarantee
  the right to legal representation.
