You need not work in a college, university, or elementary or secondary school to know that Title IX has become one of the most important and evolving areas of education law in recent years.
Since its inception in 1972, the impact of the law has morphed beyond just ensuring gender equity in athletics to governing some of the most significant issues in the culture wars. From sexual harassment and assault and sex-based bullying to transgender student facility access and athletic parity, keeping up with the changes to the law requires significant care.
Franczek P.C. has consistently covered major changes to Title IX, including proposed changes to regulations, changes in guidance from the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights, and notable lawsuits from across the country on emerging trends under the law for decades through its client alerts. These alerts cover a variety of labor and employment and education topics (sign up here if you haven’t already).
But Franczek’s attorneys recognize the potential benefit of a dedicated online space for a robust, focused discussion on Title IX issues in the educational sphere. The goal of providing that space for firm clients and friends has now culminated in the release of Franczek’s “Title IX Insights” blog.
Franczek P.C. has been a trailblazer in thought leadership in the K-12 and higher-educational space for 25 years. Almost all of the firm’s 31 attorneys represent schools, colleges, and universities for some or all of their legal practice. Of those attorneys, 18 attorneys offer combined centuries of experience representing and regulating schools, colleges, and universities in all aspects of Title IX law. Find out more about our team here.
As a full-service education and labor and employment boutique, Franczek attorneys are uniquely able to partner with our clients at every stage of the Title IX compliance process, from counseling on day-to-day matters to robust defense of lawsuits and administrative complaints.
