Kimberly C. Lau, Chair of Title IX/College Disciplinary Group Quoted in The New York Times on Title IX

In a New York Times article about the proposed changes to Title IX, Warshaw Burstein Partner Kimberly Lau brought a fresh perspective to this highly charged discussion.  She commented for a Times story that examined the impact the new rules would have on the number of misconduct investigations. The DOE estimated they will decline in K-12 schools by 50%, and at higher ed institutions by 39%.  

 

Ms. Lau said equating the decline in investigations to a lack of regard for complainants “misses the big picture.”

 

“The decline in investigations may decrease the pressure on schools to be results-oriented in their approach and more focused on how the process is implemented,” Ms. Lau said. “If the department is focused on the process, then the right outcomes will naturally result one way or another.”

She represents complainants and respondents in Title IX cases, as well as faculty.
