Student Life

OGC attorneys advise MIT on a broad range of issues relating to student life, including in the areas of student discipline, Title IX compliance, policy development, residential life (including FSILGs), academic affairs, student financial services, admissions, privacy and student activities.  OGC attorneys work closely with the Provost, Chancellor, student life and academic deans and other administrators to solve problems, prevent and resolve disputes and ensure compliance with relevant laws, regulations and policies impacting student life at MIT. OGC attorneys also regularly serve on committees and task forces charged with addressing student issues.
