Real Solutions for More Equitable Schools, Districts, and Institutions
Enhancing a Large Community College’s Internal Training Mechanisms
Training was reactive rather than defined, sporadic instead of ongoing, and tactical rather than strategic. Despite being one of the largest community colleges globally, they needed support to enhance internal training mechanisms and Title IX complaint management processes, particularly in the areas of compliance and risk management.
Assessing a Title IX Program at a Small Liberal Arts College
A private college on the East Coast needed to evaluate and improve its Title IX compliance and educational programs and requested targeted training to comply with regulations. TNG recommended a Title IX Program Assessment and training to enhance its protocols. This required a delicate approach to building trust and showcasing TNG’s comprehensive capabilities.
Resolving a Decision-making Conflict of Interest at an Art Institute
A private art institute on the West Coast had an existing relationship with a firm managing its Title IX decision-making work. However, it faced a conflict of interest. The institution collaborated with TNG to find an immediate solution and ultimately recognized the need to overhaul its Title IX policies. This opportunity blossomed into a relationship for ongoing policy enhancements fostered by trust and demonstrated excellence.
Embracing the Autonomy of the Title IX Coordinator at a Large, Public University
A public research university in the Midwest heavily relied on a General Counsel and a chief regional competitor of TNG for its Title IX work. The previous Title IX Coordinator reported to the General Counsel’s office, lacking autonomy and causing extensive communication between the Coordinator, the General Counsel, and the external firm. Upon hiring a new Title IX Coordinator—a former TNG client from a nearby school—the institution aimed to streamline the collaborative process.
Public School District Centralizes Title IX Oversight During Federal Review
A medium-sized public school district in the western U.S. sought assistance from TNG while under government agency review. District leaders recognized the need for additional expertise to navigate compliance obligations, respond to federal oversight, and strengthen district-wide Title IX practices.
A Private College Supplements its Internal Capacity to Strengthen Investigations, Hearings, and Appeals
A small private college in the Northeast engaged TNG to provide investigation and decision-making support for civil rights-based complaints, which expanded further during a period of staff turnover and extended employee absences. The institution needed experienced professionals to maintain continuity, address staffing gaps, and expand capacity for investigations, hearings, and other critical casework.
A Mid-Sized Public University Realigns Compliance Functions to Restore Operational Effectiveness
A civil rights office at a mid-sized public university faced years of staff burnout, frequent leadership changes, and expanding responsibilities. What began as a request to TNG for interim leadership quickly revealed broader operational and structural challenges.
