Fractional leadership
The fractional coordinator model, explained
Senior civil rights leadership on the days you need it, without the full-time overhead.
Not every institution needs a full-time Title IX or civil rights coordinator. Many need senior expertise reliably, at a fraction of a full role, during a spike, a transition, a complex matter, or simply the ordinary weeks when a seasoned hand would make everything cleaner.
What “fractional” actually means
A fractional coordinator is an experienced practitioner embedded in your institution part-time, carrying real responsibility, not a consultant who advises from the outside and leaves. The work is owned, the record is kept, and the standard is the same as a full-time hire’s.
Expertise you can turn up and down, without turning it off.
When it fits
Coverage during a coordinator’s leave or departure, capacity during an investigation surge, senior judgment for a high-stakes matter, or a standing partnership for a smaller institution that can’t justify a full-time role but can’t afford to wing it either.
The bottom line
The model exists for a simple reason: the need for senior civil rights judgment isn’t always full-time, but it’s never optional.
