Mr. Alfe has expertise in Title IX, specifically in upholding due process in administrative hearings, as well as implementing informal resolution to use alternative dispute resolution pathways to resolve cases of alleged sex-based and protected class discrimination in higher education. As an expert in the 2020 Trump Final Rule, and focusing on informal resolution as the nation's first full-time informal resolution practitioner, Mr. Alfe has amassed valuable data gleaned from over 2 years of experience empowering students to resolve their grievances. Under Mr. Alfe's leadership, 62% of all sex-based discrimination allegations have been resolved using informal resolution, greatly increasing student satisfaction and empowering students to make agreements that allow them to feel safe enough to access all guaranteed educational benefits, which is the mandate of Title IX. Mr. Alfe is also experienced developing university policies and training curriculums helping other institutions in establishing compliance with the Trump regulations upholding due process, protecting women's spaces and athletics, and empowering students with skills and guidance to resolve allegations of discrimination.
