The Price Of Landlord's "Free" Exercise Of Religion: Tenant's Rights To Discrimination-Free Housing And Privacy, Maureen E. Markey Jan 1995

The Price Of Landlord's "Free" Exercise Of Religion: Tenant's Rights To Discrimination-Free Housing And Privacy, Maureen E. Markey

Fordham Urban Law Journal

No precedent from the United States Supreme Court or other jurisprudence supports an individual, court-ordered free exerciseexemption for a landlord who violates the antidiscrimination laws while engaged in the business of rental housing.

An exemption based not upon the landlord's own conduct, but on the landlord's disapproval of the presumed conduct …

Title Ix Litigation In The 1990'S: The Courts Need A Game Plan, Christopher Raymond

Seattle University Law Review

Part II of this Comment is a brief history of Title IX, from the enacting legislation through the 1980's. Part III summarizes recent decisions, identifying the issues courts are grappling with and what lines, if any, are being drawn. In Part IV, analyzes three issues which are repeatedly presented in recent cases. These issues are those upon which the courts have disagreed, or which pose potential problems in future litigation: 1) how should courts treat the tensions between the individual plaintiffs and the class-oriented goals of Title IX; 2) how much deference should school administrators be given when making budget …

The Myth Of The Superspade: The Persistence Of Racism In College Athletics, Timothy Davis Jan 1995

The Myth Of The Superspade: The Persistence Of Racism In College Athletics, Timothy Davis

Fordham Urban Law Journal

As is true of society in general, untrue stereotypes underlie the subtle forms of racism prevalent in college sport.

Long-term solutions to the harm inflicted upon student- athletes and other African-American participants in college sport will require honest and creative approaches that may transcend traditional doctrinal boundaries. In the short term, this Article identifies potential approaches for providing some modicum of relief for the harm caused …
