Title IX Hearing Officer and Decision-Maker

Our team frequently serves in the decision-maker role at both the K12 and college level, serving  as a single decision-maker, partnering with an institution’s staff members, and also serving as a hearing panel officer for institutions that hold hearings.

Our team is properly trained in the steps of the Title IX process, avoiding bias and stereotypes, and utilizing trauma-informed practices. Aside from these skills, our team brings practical experience in analyzing investigation reports and applying institution policies to factual findings, going beyond the legal analysis to understanding the practical implications of the decision-maker role.

For hearing panels, we partner with an institution to provide leadership with a flexible approach. We can serve as a single officer, part of a panel, or support the process in a consultative capacity, directing and creating necessary documentation. Few institutions have the internal expertise and capacity to ensure this process is executed properly, so we customize our support for this time-consuming process to meet the institution’s needs.
