Higher education institutions have received counsel from our firm on student hazing incidents, including those involving alcohol, drug and sexual misconduct. The firm has assisted institutions with investigations, remedial action, the disciplinary process and presentation of the institutions’ cases in disciplinary proceedings. Our firm has also defended colleges and universities against due process and other challenges to disciplinary action.
These matters have involved complex issues relating to the hearing process, student access to investigation materials, student privacy, coordination with law enforcement, and responding to community and media inquiries.
