San Marcos Law Firm Strong Advocate in Title IX Issues
Experienced Texas Attorneys Will Stand Up for Your Rights
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 bars discrimination against people on the basis of sex in educational institutions that receive federal financial assistance of any kind. Institutions covered under the law include colleges, universities, local school districts, as well as for-profit and charter schools that receive federal funding.
Title IX forbids many different types of discrimination, including:
- Gender discrimination against females, males, and transgender individuals.
- Sexual violence, assault and harassment
- Employment discrimination
- Pregnancy discrimination
- Inequitable treatment or funding of athletic programs
- Disparate disciplinary policies based upon gender
- Unlawful retaliation, including any type of hostile treatment in response to a report of potentially unlawful discrimination or harassment
We believe that every individual, regardless of gender, deserves the right to benefit from equal opportunities afforded to students and employees by educational institutions in the U.S. Our firm represents:
- Student defendants accused of violating their educational institution’s code of conduct
- Students who make claims against other students, staff members, or a university and believe their claim was mishandled
- Faculty and staff who have been the victim of sexual harassment or discrimination by an educational institution during the course and scope of their employment
- Coaches, players, and others whose rights have been violated
Understanding your legal rights under Title IX can be overwhelming, and working with an experienced attorney is often in your best interest.
