Should you need guidance on Title IX matters at SUNY Binghamton, whether you are accused of prohibited conduct or you are considering filing a complaint as a victim of abuse or misconduct, consulting an experienced Title IX lawyer is always the right decision to best ensure all issues, readily apparent or otherwise, are both identified and addressed.
No matter which side of Title IX you find yourself at Binghamton, never lose sight of the following. Everyone who finds themselves the subject of a Title IX investigation has clearly delineated and enforceable rights whether a target or complainant.
For example, when reporting sexual assault, domestic or dating violence, stalking, harassment, or other forms of sex discrimination you have options. You can choose to report the incident directly with the University or even choose not to report at all.
Should you report an incident, you have the right to be protected by Binghamton University from retaliation for reporting an incident and be provided with assistance and resources from Binghamton University. Similarly, as an accused or defendant, you have rights to an advisor and to be fully informed not only of the allegations and their disciplinary consequences, but services and protections from the school as the matter proceeds through the Title IX process.
Further, accusers also have access to a Title IX Coordinator on an emergency basis or other appropriate official trained in the matters he or she faces, including interviewing victims of sexual assault. These trained personnel shall be available at the time of a complaint by the reporting person.
