TLG has acted as special investigator and prosecutor for tenure revocation committees bringing charges against professors accused of sexually harassing and assaulting students. TLG has successfully defended claims of educational malpractice brought by students dissatisfied with schools’ curricula.

Most recently, TLG defended Drexel University in a breach of contract case, Robertson v. Drexel, 2008 Phila. Ct. Com. Pl. LEXIS 279 (2008), which resulted in a grant of summary judgment in Drexel’s favor where a dissatisfied professor alleged that his denial of tenure violated Drexel’s written policies. In addition, TLG has investigated departmental-wide claims of discrimination and harassment. TLG has successfully defended student claims of due process violations arising out of dismissals for violation of a school’s code of conduct. TLG has also handled litigation involving defamation by student newspapers, Title IX and Title VII sex discrimination and harassment claims and the Americans with Disabilities Act. TLG was lead counsel in DeJohn v. Temple University, 537 F.3d 301 (3d Cir. 2008), involving the conflict between student free speech and college and university’s sexual harassment policies.
