Violent Sex: How Gender-Based Violence Is Structured In Haiti, Healthcare & Hiv/Aids, Chanelle Fox
Violent Sex: How Gender-Based Violence Is Structured In Haiti, Healthcare & Hiv/Aids, Chanelle Fox
Indiana Journal of Law and Social Equality
Healthcare is a basic right that must be protected. Although international policy and domestic law should be designed to protect human rights and equality, little attention has been given to the cumulative effect of the global healthcare system as evidenced in the domestic application of healthcare initiatives. This Note critically analyzes international treaties, domestic law, and HIV/AIDS-related initiatives in Haiti to evaluate the efficacy of the global healthcare system. It argues that this system is structurally violent against women, and that this violence is perpetuated through policy and law. Law, policy, and healthcare must better address systemic issues of gender-based …
Disappearing Diversity? Fcc Deregulation And The Effect On Minority Station Ownership, Jason Allen
Disappearing Diversity? Fcc Deregulation And The Effect On Minority Station Ownership, Jason Allen
Indiana Journal of Law and Social Equality
Latinos, African Americans, Asian Americans, and Native Americans combine to constitute a full third of the American population, yet recent studies show these minority groups only represent 4.6% of the ownership of all television stations and 7.24% of the ownership of all radio stations. In a similar vein, women comprise approximately 51% of the country’s population; nevertheless, females own only around 6% of commercial television stations and commercial broadcast radio stations in the United States. These statistics have led many, from human rights watchdogs to media policymakers, to note with some dismay the modest efforts made by the FCC to …

Reintegrating Detroit: Using Affirmative Action To Remedy The Discriminatory Effect Of Eminent Domain Takings For Economic Development, Sarah Domin
Indiana Journal of Law and Social Equality
This Note discusses eminent domain in blighted areas of Detroit, Michigan, where economic downturn combined with a shrinking population has led to large-scale demolitions in parts of the city. The central argument of this Note is that government takings for the purposes of economic development and blight eradication that fall heavily on minority populations should be allowed for their economic benefit so long as they are carefully tailored to improve racial diversity in the outcome. In spite of their disproportionate impact on poor, less-educated, and minority homeowners, takings for blight eradication should not be restricted in cities like Detroit, where …
Unfinished Equality: The Case Of Black Boys, Nancy Dowd
Unfinished Equality: The Case Of Black Boys, Nancy Dowd
Indiana Journal of Law and Social Equality
Vulnerabilities and identities theories have an interdependent and symbiotic relationship that is critical to achieve social justice. Vulnerabilities analysis demands the state to explain and correct structural inequalities, while identities theories call for constructs and stereotypes to be confronted, challenged, and transformed in order to achieve justice and equality. An example of the value of both theoretical perspectives is in challenging, uncovering, and demanding action to end the subordination of black boys. Analyzing the situation of black boys, from birth to age eighteen, and the interaction they have with individuals, institutional structures, and culture leads to a conclusion that identity …
The Obama Administration's Civil Rights Record: The Difference An Administration Makes, Michael L. Selmi
The Obama Administration's Civil Rights Record: The Difference An Administration Makes, Michael L. Selmi
Indiana Journal of Law and Social Equality
This Article reviews the Obama administration’s civil rights record during its first administration, with a particular focus on the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The review finds that although the Obama administration has generally been supportive of progressive causes, particularly in the Supreme Court and among issues relating to homosexuals, its enforcement activities have generally been quite limited. On a quantitative basis, the Obama administration’s civil rights enforcement typically falls at the same level or below that of the prior Bush administration, and with a few exceptions (mortgage discrimination and …
Discrimination Inward And Upward: Lessons On Law And Social Inequality From The Troubling Case Of Women Coaches, Deborah L. Brake
Discrimination Inward And Upward: Lessons On Law And Social Inequality From The Troubling Case Of Women Coaches, Deborah L. Brake
Indiana Journal of Law and Social Equality
In the Title IX success story, women’s opportunities in coaching jobs have not kept pace with the striking gains made by female athletes. Women’s share of jobs coaching female athletes has declined substantially in the years since the law was enacted, moving from more than 90% to below 43% today. As a case study, the situation of women coaches contains important lessons about the ability of discrimination law to promote social equality. This Article highlights one feature of bias against women coaches—gender bias by female athletes—as a counter-paradigm that presents a challenge to the dominant frame of discrimination law.

Obama's Immigration Reform: The Triumph Of Executive Action, John D. Skrentny, Jane Lilly López
Obama's Immigration Reform: The Triumph Of Executive Action, John D. Skrentny, Jane Lilly López
Indiana Journal of Law and Social Equality
During the 2008 election, President Barack Obama promised Latino voters that, if elected, he would deliver comprehensive immigration reform including a legalization plan for many if not all of the millions of undocumented immigrants in the United States. However, this reform would require an act of Congress, and Obama failed to deliver during his first term. Yet Obama won an even larger share of the Latino vote in 2012 than he had in 2008. How was this possible? We argue that the Obama administration maintained and expanded its support from Latino voters by exploiting legal possibilities for executive action through …
