Caitlin also serves as an outside adjudicator for higher education institutions in matters involving allegations of sexual misconduct and other prohibited conduct.

In order to assist institutions in navigating their expanding statutory and regulatory compliance requirements, Caitlin has developed a deep understanding of the legal landscape for higher-ed institutions. Her areas of expertise include Title IX, VAWA, and the Clery Act.
