Fairly address the increasing need for Title IX resolutions.
Faster, smoother, simpler, and unbiased. With everything in one place, New Era’s ADR platform streamlines virtual mediation.
The number of sexual violence complaints at colleges and universities from 2009-2014 increased 1,000%.
The amount of days it took for cases to result in “substantive closures” went from 379 days to 1,469 days (+1,090).
If a student reported a sexual assault incident on the first day of freshman year, the case would not be resolved until more than 4 years later; likely after graduation.
