What is Title IX and How Does it Apply to Unitek College?

Title IX is a federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in educational programs and activities that receive federal funding.

• Have a published policy against sex discrimination
• Designate at least one employee as the Title IX Coordinator
• Adopt and publish grievance procedures for resolving complaints
• Investigate and resolve complaints in a prompt and equitable manner
• Take steps to prevent recurrence of any sex discrimination or harassment
• Remedy its discriminatory effects on the complainant and others

Title IX covers a wide range of conduct, including:

• Sexual harassment
• Sexual assault
• Dating/domestic violence
• Stalking
• Discrimination based on sex, gender identity, or sexual orientation

The Title IX Process at Unitek College

While every school’s Title IX procedures are slightly different, here’s a general overview of what you can expect if you’re involved in a Title IX case at Unitek College:

1. Report filed: A complaint is made to the Title IX Coordinator alleging a violation of the school’s sexual misconduct policy.
2. Initial assessment: The Title IX Coordinator reviews the report to determine if it falls under Title IX jurisdiction.
3. Interim measures: The school may implement temporary actions like no-contact orders or changes in housing/class schedules.
4. Investigation: A trained investigator gathers evidence and interviews relevant parties and witnesses.
5. Review of evidence: Both parties have the opportunity to review the evidence collected and provide a response.
6. Investigative report: The investigator prepares a report summarizing the relevant evidence.
7. Hearing: A live hearing is held where both parties can present evidence and cross-examine witnesses through their advisors.
8. Determination: The hearing officer/panel makes a determination of responsibility based on the preponderance of evidence standard.
9. Sanctions: If found responsible, sanctions are imposed which may include suspension or expulsion.
10. Appeal: Either party can appeal the decision on limited grounds.

This process can be complex and intimidating, especially for students unfamiliar with legal proceedings. That’s where we come in. Our experienced Title IX defense lawyers will guide you through each step, ensuring your rights are protected.

Just had my Divorce case settled 2 months ago after having a horrible experience with another firm. I couldn’t be happier with Claire Banks and Elizabeth Garvey with their outstanding professionalism in doing so with Spodek Law Group. Any time I needed questions answered they were always prompt in doing so with all my uncertainties after 30 yrs of marriage.I feel from the bottom of my heart you will NOT be disappointed with either one. Thanks a million.

Alex Zhik contacted me almost immediately when I reached out to Spodek for a consultation and was able to effectively communicate the path forward/consequences of my legal issue. I immediately agreed to hire Alex for his services and did not regret my choice. He was able to cover my case in court (with 1 day notice) and not only was he able to push my case down, he carefully negotiated a dismissal of the charge altogether. I highly recommend Spodek, and more specifically, Alex Zhik for all of your legal issues. Thanks guys!

His exact words were “I’m not worried about it”. His unwavering support and guidance were invaluable throughout the entire process. I am immensely grateful for Alex's exceptional legal representation and wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone in need of a skilled criminal defense attorney.

I don’t know where to start, I can write a novel about this firm, but one thing I will say is that having my best interest was their main priority since the beginning of my case which was back in Winter 2019. Miss Claire Banks, one of the best Attorneys in the firm represented me very well and was very professional, respectful, and truthful. Not once did she leave me in the dark, in fact she presented all options and routes that could possibly be considered for my case and she reinsured me that no matter what I decided to do, her and the team will have my back and that’s exactly what happened. Not only will I be liberated from this case, also, I will enjoy my freedom and continue to be a mother to my first born son and will have no restrictions with accomplishing my goals in life. Now that’s what I call victory!! I thank the Lord, My mother, Claire, and the Spodek team for standing by me and fighting with me. Words can’t describe how grateful I am to have the opportunity to work with this team. I’m very satisfied, very pleased with their performance, their hard work, and their diligence. Thank you team!

I can't recommend Alex Zhik and Spodek Law Firm highly enough for their exceptional legal representation and personal mentorship. From the moment I engaged their services in October 2022, Alex took the time to understand my case thoroughly and provided guidance every step of the way. Alex's dedication to my case went above and beyond my expectations. His expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome were evident throughout the entire process. He took the time to mentor me, ensuring I understood the legal complexities involved to make informed decisions. Alex is the kind of guy you would want to have a beer with and has made a meaningful impact on me. I also want to acknowledge Todd Spodek, the leader of the firm, who played a crucial role in my case. His leadership and support bolstered the efforts of Alex, and his involvement highlighted the firm's commitment to excellence. Thanks to Alex Zhik and Todd Spodek, I achieved the outcome I desired, and I am incredibly grateful for their professionalism, expertise, and genuine care. If you're in need of legal representation, look no further than this outstanding team.
