New Jersey Title IX Sexual Abuse Attorneys – Advocating for Students Abused on Campus and in School-Sponsored Programs Throughout the State

Title IX is a federal law designed to protect students from sex-based discrimination in education. Unfortunately, too many students in New Jersey face sexual abuse and harassment in academic settings—often with little to no support from the very institutions meant to protect them.

At Survivors of Abuse NJ, we represent students of all ages—middle school through college—who have experienced sexual abuse in educational environments. If your school ignored your complaints, failed to take action, or allowed a hostile environment to persist, you may be able to file a civil claim under Title IX or state law to recover damages and force accountability.

What Types of Abuse Fall Under Title IX?

Title IX prohibits schools that receive federal funding from allowing sexual abuse, including:

  • Rape or sexual assault on campus

  • Harassment from teachers, coaches, or classmates

  • Sexual abuse during athletic or extracurricular programs

  • Retaliation for reporting abuse

  • Negligent handling of abuse complaints

Schools are required by law to respond promptly and fairly to all reports of sexual misconduct. When they don’t, you have the right to take legal action.

Can I File a Civil Lawsuit Under Title IX?

Yes. A Title IX lawsuit in New Jersey allows you to seek damages against an institution that failed to act appropriately. This is separate from any criminal proceedings and can include:

  • Medical expenses and therapy

  • Emotional pain and trauma

  • Educational setbacks or lost scholarships

  • Punitive damages for serious misconduct

  • Compensation for violations of your civil rights

Even if your school took some action, their response may still have been inadequate. Our attorneys can help assess whether you have a case.

Institutions That Can Be Held Liable Include:

  • Public and private colleges and universities

  • High schools and middle schools

  • Charter or religious schools that receive federal funds

  • School boards or athletic programs

  • Any academic entity that ignored or mishandled your report

No institution is above the law, especially when it fails to protect students.
