These investigations can often result in the accused student being suspended or even expelled.
Many Universities in Illinois have updated its methods of disciplining students who are found responsible for violations of Title IX policy as it relates to sexual violence. This may include a mandatory minimum of a two-year suspension for violations of the sexual violence policy, and a one-year mandatory suspension for other acts of sexual misconduct.
