Title IX
Title IX
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is an anti-discrimination law that states no person in the United States, on the basis of sex, shall be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any educational program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.
Timeline for Completion of Investigation
Under Title IX, students and employees are entitled to a timely and comprehensive investigation of their complaint. While 60 calendar days serves as a good baseline for the length of a typical investigation, complex investigations may require additional time. This 60 Day benchmark refers to completion of the investigation and the administrative process in 60 days as a benchmark.
The Title IX investigative process is broken down into several phases, including
- Notification to the parties
- Gathering of facts, documents, and records
- Review and analysis of the evidence
- Determination of whether or not violations occurred
- Drafting of a final report
