Student Protect Plan Benefits
The Student Protect membership is designed to provide college students with immediate access to quality legal resources and representation in the event an administrative action or investigation is brought against them by their college or university. Administrative actions may include alleged violations of the student code of conduct, Title IX, or any other administrative violation alleged by the member’s educational institution.
When a Student Protect member is the subject of an administrative action or investigation, Scholar Protect will immediately identify, vet and retain an experienced attorney to represent the student member. During this administrative process, the Student Protect membership provides unlimited attorney’s fees, investigative fees, and expert consultation/witness fees.
