​
What Are an Institution’s Responsibilities Under Title IX?
​
Title IX requires educational institutions to ensure that no individual is discriminated against based on sex, which includes addressing:
​
-
Sexual harassment, misconduct, and assault allegations
-
Gender discrimination in academics and athletics
-
Retaliation against individuals filing Title IX complaints
​
Institutions must have clear policies, prompt investigative procedures, and comprehensive training programs in place to prevent violations and ensure compliance with federal regulations.

​
What Should Our School Do If We Receive a Title IX Complaint?
​
If your institution receives a Title IX complaint, immediate action is critical to ensure compliance. Steps to take include:
​
-
Acknowledge & Review the Complaint – Notify the Title IX Coordinator and ensure all procedural requirements are followed.
-
Implement Interim Measures – Depending on the nature of the complaint, institutions may need to provide accommodations to protect all parties involved.
-
Conduct a Fair & Impartial Investigation – Ensure the investigation process follows federal due process requirements.
-
Document Findings & Implement Actions – Maintain thorough records, issue findings, and take appropriate disciplinary or remedial measures.
​
Failure to properly handle a Title IX complaint can result in legal liability, federal investigations, and reputational damage. Webb Consulting Group helps institutions navigate these cases effectively.
​
What Training Do Administrators & Staff Need for Title IX Compliance?
​
Institutions must provide regular and comprehensive Title IX training for:
​
-
Title IX Coordinators & Investigators – Training on investigation techniques, reporting obligations, and due process standards.
-
Faculty & Staff – Understanding reporting responsibilities and handling disclosures of misconduct.
-
Students & Athletes – Education on Title IX protections, consent, and reporting options.
​
Our firm offers customized training programs to meet the unique needs of each institution, ensuring compliance and risk mitigation.
​
How Can Our Institution Conduct Fair & Impartial Title IX Investigations?
​
A flawed investigation process can lead to legal challenges and compliance violations. To ensure fairness: ✔ Use Trained Investigators – Ensure investigators and decision-makers receive ongoing training. ✔ Follow Due Process – Allow both parties to present evidence, witnesses, and respond to allegations. ✔ Remain Impartial – Avoid conflicts of interest and ensure objective decision-making. ✔ Maintain Thorough Documentation – Keep detailed records of all steps taken during the investigation.
​
Webb Consulting Group provides expert legal guidance to help institutions establish and maintain legally sound investigation procedures.
