In Search Of Federal Remedies For Lgbtq Students Who Are Victims Of Assault And Harassment In School., Jerry R. Foxhoven Mr.

Jerry R. Foxhoven Mr.

This article describes details of the harassment that was inflicted upon the individual LGBTQ students involved in many of the federal reported cases, as well as the lack of response by, and sometimes even the participation of, school personnel in the harassment. The article then goes on to examine the various legal theories that were employed by the victim-students, including constitutional theories (Due Process, Equal Protection, and First Amendment claims) as well as statutory remedies (Title IX and the Equal Access Act).

This article is written in a format that is not only interesting (by providing the details of the …

Equality Beyond The Three-Part Test: Exploring And Explaining The Invisibility Of Title Ix’S Equal Treatment Requirement, Erin E. Buzuvis, Kristine E. Newhall

Faculty Scholarship

It is clear from the proliferation of cases and complaints challenging programmatic disparities in school and college athletic programs that Title IX’s goal of equal treatment has not been fully realized. As the scholarship addressing equal treatment in athletics has been minimal, this Article is an effort to add to this scholarship in order to provide a greater understanding of equal treatment provisions. It examines why many school officials administer athletic departments in apparent oblivion to Title IX’s equal treatment mandate.

The Article provides the history of Title IX’s equal treatment provisions and their enforcement at the high school and …

How The Expressive Power Of Title Ix Dilutes Its Promise, Dionne L. Koller

All Faculty Scholarship

Title IX is widely credited with shaping new norms for the world of sports by requiring educational institutions to provide equal athletic opportunities to women. The statute and regulations send a message that women are entitled to participate in sports on terms equal to men. For several decades, this message of equality produced dramatic results in participation rates, as the number of women interested in athletics grew substantially. Despite these gains, however, many women and girls, especially those of color and lower socio-economic status, still do not participate in sports, or remain interested in participating, in numbers comparable to their …

Game Changer, Erin Buzuvis

Faculty Scholarship

This Article celebrates the 40th anniversary of Title IX and the activists who have fought for women's equal educational opportunities. Title IX's success is due to the eternal vigilance of the law's supporters, who continue to defend it through the political process and in the courts. The Author notes that this vigilance must continue in order for the law to address persistent sex discrimination, and to guard against unwarranted sex segregation.

The Twelve-Year-Old Girl's Lawsuit That Changed America: The Continuing Impact Of Now V. Little League Baseball, Inc. At 40, Douglas E. Abrams

Faculty Publications

In 1972, Little League's national office forced 12-year-old Maria Pepe off her Hoboken (N.J.) team because "[g]irls are not eligible." The New Jersey Division on Civil Rights sustained her gender discrimination claim in 1973, and the courts upheld the administrative decision a year later.

National reaction to Maria Pepe's courageous insistence on gender equity helped sustain the evolution in gender roles that had accelerated since the Women's Movement of the 1960s. Her landmark legal action also likely influenced the Supreme Court's gradual movement toward intermediate scrutiny of gender discrimination claims; the 1975 federal regulations that assured Title IX of the …

Caught Between A Rock And A Hard Place: The Title Ix Generation, Mathematics, And The State Of Feminist Quantitative Social Science Research, Jill R. Williams

Journal of Feminist Scholarship

In this essay I reflect on the fortieth anniversary of the Mink Equal Opportunity in Education Act of 1972 (Title IX), which prohibited discrimination based on sex in federally funded education programs in the United States and inspired educational programs that encourage girls to pursue math and science careers. I argue that despite the feminist underpinnings of Title IX, in recent years feminism has discouraged the advancement of women in math and science by excluding quantitative research from its publications, quantitative researchers from women's and gender studies programs, and quantitative training from its curriculum. I examine my own experience of …
