Employment Discrimination In Higher Education, Oren R. Griffin, Thomas P. Hustoles Jan 2000

Employment Discrimination In Higher Education, Oren R. Griffin, Thomas P. Hustoles

Articles, Chapters in Books and Other Contributions to Scholarly Works

During 1999, the most significant development in employment discrimination law involving colleges and universities, by a large margin, was a series of cases affirming that Eleventh Amendment immunity from private money damage claims brought pursuant to various federal employment discrimination statutes applied to state colleges and universities. This development eventually culminated in the Supreme Court's year 2000 decision in Kimel v. Florida Board of Regents.' Numerous other interesting decisions were rendered that, although not creating any bold new law, either affirmed trends in past cases, or illustrated important practical implications for generally predicting judicial outcomes given certain fact patterns. After …


Discriminatory Effects: Desegregation Litigation In Higher Education In Georgia, Molly O'Brien Dec 1999

Discriminatory Effects: Desegregation Litigation In Higher Education In Georgia, Molly O'Brien

William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal

While no one can deny the importance of desegregating all educational institutions over the past half-century, one of the unexpected consequences of the movement has been to make uncertain the legality of historically black public colleges. This uncertainty has created an opportunity for those who oppose historically black colleges, for whatever reason, to bring suit against them and potentially close their doors for not enrolling a student body that represents the racial make-up of the state. Professor O'Brien explores this issue in her Article by chronicling the progress of higher education in Georgia, from the establishment of a dual system, …


A Commerce Clause Challenge To New York's Tax Deduction For Investment In Its Own Tuition Savings Program, Amy Remus Scott Dec 1999

A Commerce Clause Challenge To New York's Tax Deduction For Investment In Its Own Tuition Savings Program, Amy Remus Scott

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

The Internal Revenue Code provides guidelines for states to create and maintain college tuition savings programs which offer federal tax benefits to investors. Several states have enacted tuition savings plans in accordance with these guidelines. In addition to the federal tax benefits allowed, New York offers a state tax deduction to New York residents who invest in its plan, the New York College Choice Tuition Savings Program. New York does not offer the deduction, however, to residents who invest in comparable programs offered by other states. The tax deduction thus creates an incentive for residents to invest in the in-state …

The Influence Of Race In School Finance Reform, James E. Ryan Nov 1999

The Influence Of Race In School Finance Reform, James E. Ryan

Michigan Law Review

It would be an exaggeration to say that school finance reform is all about race, but largely in the same way that it is an exaggeration to say that welfare reform is all about race. Like welfare reform, the controversy generated by school finance litigation and reform has, on the surface, little to do with race. Battles over school funding, which have been waged in nearly forty state supreme courts and at least as many state legislatures, instead appear to be over such issues as the redistribution of resources, retaining local control over education, and the efficacy of increased expenditures. …

Class War: Ontario Teachers And The Courts, Harry J. Glasbeek Oct 1999

Class War: Ontario Teachers And The Courts, Harry J. Glasbeek

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

In 1997, the government of Ontario met with unexpected opposition to its changes to the education system with the introduction of Bill 160, the Education Quality Improvement Act, culminating in a province-wide strike by teachers. In reaction, the government sought to divert the conflict into the courts. Although the teachers were initially successful in court, the strike was not, and many of the strikers' objectives were not met. The author argues that the law of injunctions and collective bargaining shifted and narrowed the scope of the conflict, and reduced the political power of the teachers. The litigation surrounding Bill 160 …

Judicial Deference And Sexual Discrimination In The University, Mark Bartholomew Sep 1999

Judicial Deference And Sexual Discrimination In The University, Mark Bartholomew

Buffalo Women's Law Journal

Tenure discrimination plaintiffs confront a judiciary that regularly defers to the administrative judgments of universities. Strangely, however, student plaintiffs suing under Title IX do not confront the same deferential posture. This occurs even when the student plaintiffs are suing their professors over classroom speech and academic freedom is at stake. After presenting the evidence of an asymmetrical application of judicial deference to the university, the Article critiques the Supreme Court’s decision in Gebser v. Lago Vista Independent School District to weaken the remedial powers of Title IX relative to Title VII. The Article then explores the arguments for and against …


Supreme Court To Rule On Student Fees Case, Arthur S. Leonard Jul 1999

Supreme Court To Rule On Student Fees Case, Arthur S. Leonard

Center for LGBTQ Studies (CLAGS)

The U.S. Supreme Court announced March 29 that it will intervene in the "culture wars" raging in academia by considering whether public university students have a constitutional right to block use of their student activity fees by student organizations of which they disapprove. Lesbian and gay studies programs, such as CLAGS, are at the heart of these culture wars, as right-wing groups raise public controversies about the discussion of sexuality in the academy and question the very legitimacy of lesbian and gay studies as an academic discipline.


Mabel Lee And Louise Pound: The University Of Nebraska's Battle Over Women's Intercollegiate Athletics, Kristi Lowenthal Jul 1999

Mabel Lee And Louise Pound: The University Of Nebraska's Battle Over Women's Intercollegiate Athletics, Kristi Lowenthal

Department of History: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

Mirroring a cultural shift that brought the American middle class from the Victorian era into the modern era, women's intercollegiate sports encountered stiff resistance from the two overlapping social groups. Mabel Lee, a woman physical educator, brought firmly held Victorian beliefs about feminine propriety and moderation to the University of Nebraska when she was hired as the head of the women's physical education department in 1924. Louise Pound, an English professor at the University, had for years excelled in highly competitive athletics as a member of the new modern middle class. Pound flouted Victorian restraints and refused to enter the …

Gebser V. Lago Vista Independent School District: School District Remains Afloat In Title Ix Litigation Floodwater, Richard A. Weller

Mercer Law Review

In Gebser v. Lago Vista Independent School District, the United States Supreme Court held that a school district could not be held liable under Title IX for a teacher's sexual harassment of a student without actual notice and deliberate indifference. In a five to four decision, the Court affirmed summary judgment in favor of the school district.'

Response To Review By Terrance Sandalow, William G. Bowen, Derek Bok

Michigan Law Review

Mark Twain tried to convey the size and complexity of the Mississippi by explaining to his readers that the river draws its water from every state between Delaware and Idaho, discharges 338 times as much water as the Thames, and is fed by 54 subordinate rivers each of which was large enough for steamboat travel.

Which Queue?, Robert J. Sternberg, Elena L. Grigorenko May 1999

Which Queue?, Robert J. Sternberg, Elena L. Grigorenko

Michigan Law Review

It is annoying when one is in a long line - at a ticket counter, at a supermarket, at a bank - and someone "jumps the queue," taking a position in line ahead of other people who lined up first. The title of Mark Kelman and Gillian Lester's book, Jumping the Queue, gives the reader advance warning of the authors' position on people who edge ahead in line. But the topic of their book is not ticket, supermarket, or bank lines, but rather the line to enjoy the benefits of society. And the focus of the analysis of queue-jumpers is …
