Erin Agidius is a Consultant at TNG with extensive experience in Title IX, civil rights, Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO), Clery Act, and Section 504/ADA compliance in higher education.
At TNG, her training and consulting practice focuses on compliance, policy development, investigations, and decision-maker roles. She has also served as the interim Title IX Coordinator for numerous institutions, including small, private liberal arts colleges, large public institutions, and others. Recently, she has expanded her work to include advising clients in K-12 educational settings.
Prior to joining TNG, Agidius led the Office of Civil Rights and Investigations at the University of Idaho, where she coordinated and monitored institutional federal compliance under Title VI, Title VII, Title IX, and ADA/504. She managed a strong team, conducted comprehensive civil rights investigations, and customized programming for various audiences. She has also guided multiple committees and task forces on threat assessment and management, security and compliance, and gender equity.
Prior to her role as director, she built connections as the Interim Director and Deputy Director of the Human Rights Access and Inclusion office. Through those relationships, she successfully campaigned for the university to invest in professional investigators and reorganize existing offices to create a more sustainable and effective culture of compliance. Her experience as a student conduct administrator forged her foundational understanding of relational connection. Throughout her tenure in higher education, she has raised awareness of resources and enhanced university policies, practices, and programs by leveraging her strong relationships.
Agidius is dedicated to advancing community-wide programs to prevent, reduce, and remediate all forms of discrimination. Her style is grounded in relationship-building, procedural fairness, and respecting the dignity of all parties. With compliance and equity as her ethos, she is highly praised for guiding institutions through complex challenges with clarity and integrity. She delivered the keynote address at the Lewis-Clark State College (LCSC) Women’s Leadership Conference and co-authored “Appropriate Interpersonal Relationships” for the Fulbright Scholars Gateway Program.

She is certified in Green Dot Bystander Intervention and Stop the Hate, holding additional certifications from the Northwest Institute for Dispute Resolution, Forensic Experiential Trauma Interview (FETI), the Association of Student Conduct Administration (ASCA)’s Gehring Academy, and Mental Health First Aid (MHFA).
