Jeffrey Lamoureaux, a nationally recognized expert in Title IX investigations and civil rights compliance, has been featured in an exclusive online interview discussing his journey from law enforcement to higher education and investigative leadership. With more than 24 years of experience, Lamoureaux has built a career focused on integrity, trauma-informed care, and institutional accountability. His story highlights his commitment to creating safer, more equitable environments for students, faculty, and organizations nationwide.
In the interview, Lamoureaux reflects on his early career as a police officer in Burbank, California, where he faced life-altering experiences that shaped his approach to justice. His background in law enforcement provided him with the skills necessary for conducting high-pressure investigations, but it also introduced him to the profound impact of trauma on individuals and communities. This realization led him to transition into Title IX compliance and civil rights advocacy, where he continues to fight for fairness and transparency in higher education and workplace investigations.
"One of the biggest misconceptions about Title IX is that it’s inherently biased toward one side or another," Lamoureaux explains. "The truth is, a well-run investigation is neutral and fact-driven. Our responsibility as investigators is to ensure fairness and equity for all parties involved, which requires a deep commitment to due process and trauma-informed practices."
Throughout the interview, Lamoureaux discusses the challenges of leading external Title IX investigations through his firm, Compliance, Title IX, and Equity Investigations (CIXE). He emphasizes the resistance some institutions face when implementing meaningful change, as well as the importance of external oversight to ensure accountability.
"Some institutions seek external investigations because they truly want to improve, while others do it out of necessity rather than commitment," he says. "My goal is to help these organizations see that compliance isn’t just about checking boxes—it’s about creating a culture where people feel safe, supported, and empowered to report misconduct."
Lamoureaux also opens up about his personal struggles with PTSD and the emotional toll of his previous law enforcement career. He credits his wife, Melissa, and his faith for helping him find balance, and he encourages professionals in high-stress careers to seek support when needed.
"It took me a long time to realize that taking care of my mental health wasn’t a weakness," he shares. "It’s what allows me to keep doing meaningful work. I prioritize my family, my faith, and my well-being so that I can show up every day as the best version of myself."
As for what’s next, Lamoureaux remains dedicated to growing CIXE and expanding access to high-quality investigative services for organizations that lack internal resources. He is also focused on mentoring the next generation of Title IX professionals, ensuring that institutions continue to uphold fairness and justice in all compliance matters.
"I want to leave a lasting impact on this field—not just through the cases I handle, but through the professionals I help train and the policies I help shape," he says. "True success isn’t measured by individual achievements, but by the change we create together."
