University protocol varies school to school, but most universities are keeping their Title IX offices open during this time and proceeding remotely with investigations, including Zoom or Skype hearings. Princeton and Harvard are two such institutions. However, some university processes require live hearings with cross examination due to a 2018 court ruling affecting schools in Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and Tennessee, which is holding up cases at some schools in these states.
