Higher education
Colleges, universities, and systems, where a single matter can touch Title IX, Title VI, the ADA, and the Clery Act at once, and where the first decision in the file is which framework governs.
What we carry
Title IX
Sex discrimination and sex-based harassment, from intake through determination, appeal, and resolution.
Title VI
Race, color, and national origin, including hostile environment claims read more expansively than most campus policies contemplate.
ADA and Section 504
Accommodations, grievance process, and the digital accessibility work now sitting on a fixed timeline.
Clery Act
The annual security report, timely warnings, the daily crime log, and the coordination they require.
