Cincinnati Title IX Lawyer
What is Title IX in Ohio?
According to the Education Amendments Act, Title IX provides students with the right to an education free of sexual discrimination. This applies to schools nationwide receiving funds from the United States Department of Education, including: elementary schools, high schools, and universities.
Specifically, Title IX states:
- “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.” — Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972
However, should a student be accused of a sex crime by another student, the school will initiate a Title IX action against the accused student based on violation of the student code. While legislation like Title IX exists to protect students from gender discrimination or misconduct, it can and often does lead to the wrongful treatment of the accused. In recent years, educational institutions, namely colleges, have come under fire for the unfair treatment received by those accused of misconduct.
Under Title IX of the Education Amendments Act, students accused of misconduct by their educational institution have the right to a fair hearing.
