Summary
Megan Mitchell is an attorney who specializes in Title IX cases on college campuses, including stalking. While many people think of Title IX as addressing sexual misconduct, it also covers stalking—often in ways that are uniquely complicated. On close-knit campuses, shared classes, dorms, and social circles can make it nearly impossible for victims to avoid someone who refuses to respect boundaries. Today, Megan helps us understand how stalking shows up in the Title IX system—and why these cases can be especially challenging for students trying to feel safe at school.
