The Cruelest Of The Gender Police: Student-To-Student Sexual Harassment And Anti-Gay Peer Harassment Under Title Ix, Deborah L. Brake

Articles

Title IX, like other sex discrimination laws, addresses discrimination that occurs because of an individual’s sex. Courts interpreting Title IX, like those interpreting Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, have struggled to demarcate a line separating discrimination because of sex from discrimination because of sexual orientation. This article constructs an argument for viewing anti-gay discrimination, and in particular anti-gay harassment between students, as a form of sex discrimination under Title IX. The article first explores why school inaction in the face of sexual harassment discriminates on the basis of sex. Although sex discrimination law generally has long …

Sex As A Suspect Class: An Argument For Applying Strict Scrutiny To Gender Discrimination, Deborah Brake

In United States v. Commonwealth of Virginia' ("VMI"), the Supreme Court has a landmark opportunity to revisit the legal standard courts should use to review classifications which treat men and women differently. The VMI case involves an equal protection challenge to the state's exclusion of women from VMI and its establishment of an alternative, sex-stereotyped women's leadership program as a remedy to that exclusion.

Articles

Automating a library is challenging, frustrating and rewarding. It requires detailed, often tedious planning, and enormous amounts of patience. Software glitches, hardware failures, and miscommunication between automation vendors and library staff are common complaints found in the library literature. These problems loom large when any library automates. When two libraries undertake such a project together, problems proliferate. The automation project of Ouachita Baptist University (OBU) and Henderson State University (HSU) Libraries illustrates problems inherent in any automation, some unique to joint endeavors, and others representative of cooperation between a public and a private institution. Above all, it illustrates how a …


Unrestricted Access To Knowledge: A Bibliographic Instruction Program For Small Sectarian Liberal Arts Colleges, S. Ray Granade Aug 1989

Unrestricted Access To Knowledge: A Bibliographic Instruction Program For Small Sectarian Liberal Arts Colleges, S. Ray Granade

Articles

This study examines the theoretical and philosophical constructs for implementing a program of bibliographic instruction at small sectarian liberal arts colleges, using Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia, Arkansas as a case study. It examines the historical and philosophical reasons for the lack of such instruction, then proposes a program based on four principles: the efficacy of course-related, written-product instruction; the significance of locale in program design; the potential of variety as a key element; and the value of repetition. The program is competency-based with three major components (pre-test, test, and post-test), each of which have a variety of sub-components. It …
