Compliance, Best Practices & Expertise

Title IX Consulting Group provides expert consulting services for K-12, higher education, students, and law firms for all Title IX matters. 
 
Our consulting services include helping schools and campuses decrease liability, advising students with Title IX expert support, and working alongside legal teams that are addressing Title IX cases in the court system. With an emphasis on Title IX expertise, best practices, and compliance we are here to provide Title IX insight on issues of sexual discrimination, sexual harassment, and sexual misconduct policies, procedures, practices, and protocols. Please note, our work includes the analysis of procedural non-compliance within campus practices for victim cases, as well as, cases involving individuals accused of sex discrimination. 
 
Overall, we strive to improve Title IX policy and procedural understanding and increase transparency of K-12 and higher education practices through our Title IX consultation.
 
Legally, the Title IX Education Amendment of 1972 mandates all educational institutions that are federally funded, to prevent sex discrimination (sexual harassment), to take prompt and effective action, and to decrease Title IX non-compliance liability.

Sandi’s services provided in the LU case I was a part of were unmatched. She is amazing, knowledgeable, professional, and most importantly - caring. I am beyond grateful for her contributions to our case and the care and love she bestowed upon us.

A genuinely caring and compassionate company working on behalf of victims of abuse. Sandi is extremely knowledgeable in her field and her approach to the victims is always kind and compassionate. She is a 10 out of 5 stars!

Sandi is the absolute most supportive and purpose driven person I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. As a Jane Doe, she went to bat for me like nobody else has. She knows Title IX laws and policies like the back of her hand and is not afraid to speak up for what is right. My life is forever better because of her and her business.

5 stars isn’t enough. Words cannot express how grateful I am for Sandi and Title IX Consulting Group. I honestly don’t know if I could have gotten through my case without her by my side. She held my hand as I told the story of the worst experience of my life, and she made me feel safe, and made me feel that there was a team behind me. She was with us for an entire week as we fought in that War Room. Sandi actively listened, genuinely cared, and even made us laugh to help ease the pain. Anything she could do, she did, and if there’s something she couldn’t do (I doubt that is even a thing) she will find someone who can. Time and again Sandi has proven that she is a warrior, and she will not let anyone stand in the way of justice. I cannot wait to see how much more she does. “We’ve only just begun…”❤️

As one of the Jane Does from the LU case, Sandi was an amazing help not only with the case itself but emotionally. It was by no means an easy process but without Sandi’s help and support I know it would have been much more difficult. Would give more than 5 stars if was allowed
