Discrimination, Harassment & Retaliation

Overview

Federal law prohibits discrimination by schools on the basis of race and national origin (Title VI), sex (Title IX), and disability (Section 504 and the ADA), and it protects students who complain about discrimination from retaliation.

I represent students who have experienced discrimination, harassment, or retaliation in connection with their education. Available remedies vary by claim, and I’ll give you a candid assessment of what relief is realistic.

What I can help with

• Assessing potential claims under Title VI, Title IX, and Section 504/ADA
• Evaluating retaliation for protected complaints
• Documenting the conduct and the school’s response
• Pursuing the school’s internal grievance process
• Advising on complaints to the Office for Civil Rights
• Evaluating litigation and the realistic remedies available
