cohen v brown university plaintiffcohen v brown university plaintiff

First, as explained earlier, Adarand and Croson apply to review of legislative affirmative action schemes. 29. Brown also claims error in the district court's failure to apply Title VII standards to its analysis of whether Brown's intercollegiate athletics program complies with Title IX. In addition, and as in the previous appeal, Brown challenges on constitutional and statutory grounds the test employed by the district court in determining whether Brown's intercollegiate athletics program complies with Title IX. 20 U.S.C.A. In its introduction, Brown makes clear that it would prefer to maintain its current program and that the plan submitted. I am not persuaded by the majority's argument that the three-part test does not constitute a quota because it does not permit an agency or court to find a violation solely on the basis of prong one of the test; instead, an institution must also fail prongs two and three. Id. of Med., 976 F.2d 791, 795 (1st Cir.1992), cert. Id. Cohen II, 991 F.2d at 901. at 1957 (The drafters of Title IX explicitly assumed that it would be interpreted and applied as Title VI had been during the preceding eight years.). Thinx period underwear settles $4 million class action lawsuit after 'forever chemicals' that can cause fertility issues were found in high quantities near the CROTCH of its supposed 'organic and . Under these circumstances, the district court's finding that there are interested women able to compete at the university-funded varsity level, Cohen III, 879 F.Supp. We must, as Brown urges, reexamine the Equal Protection challenge to the three-prong test as interpreted by the district court. See Hogan, 458 U.S. at 728, 102 S.Ct. In its discussion, the Court stated that, in order to prevail in a gender case, the State must show at least that the challenged classification serves important governmental objectives and that the discriminatory means employed are substantially related to the achievement of those objectives. Id. . The district court rejected the analogy to Title VII, noting that, while Title VII seeks to determine whether gender-neutral job openings have been filled without regard to gender[,] Title IX was designed to address the reality that sports teams, unlike the vast majority of jobs, do have official gender requirements, and this statute accordingly approaches the concept of discrimination differently from Title VII. Cohen III, 879 F.Supp. 684, 121 L.Ed.2d 605 (1993); Young v. Herring, 917 F.2d 858 (5th Cir.1990); Fogel v. Chestnutt, 668 F.2d 100, 109 (2d Cir.1981), cert. at 57, and offers no explanation as to how it was prejudiced by the exclusion. [T]he Court proceeds to interpret exceedingly persuasive justification in a fashion that contradicts the reasoning of Hogan and our other precedents. Id. According to the statute's senate sponsor, Title IX was intended to. 612 (1974).6 The regulations specifically address athletics at 34 C.F.R. The district court noted that the four demoted teams were eligible for NCAA competition, provided that they were able to raise the funds necessary to maintain a sufficient level of competitiveness, and provided that they continued to comply with NCAA requirements. A recipient which operates or sponsors interscholastic, intercollegiate, club or intramural athletics shall provide equal athletic opportunity for members of both sexes. By Arthur Bryant and Lori Bullock* Cohen v. Brown University, which the First Circuit just referred to as "This landmark Title IX case," started in April 1992, after the school stopped funding its varsity women's gymnastics and volleyball teams.Eleven female athletes, including Amy Cohen, Megan Hull, Lisa Stern Kaplowitz, Eileen Rocchio, and Jennifer Todd, fought back. at 2112 (the equal protection guarantee protect[s] persons, not groups), the only way to determine whether the rights of an individual athlete have been violated and what relief is necessary to remedy the violation is to engage in an explicitly gender-conscious comparison. As previously noted, Cohen II expressly held that a court assessing Title IX compliance may not find a violation solely because there is a disparity between the gender composition of an educational institution's student constituency, on the one hand, and its athletic programs, on the other hand. 991 F.2d at 895. Cases and commentators sometimes treat cases involving involuntarily implemented plans-e.g., plans adopted pursuant to a consent decree or a contempt order-as affirmative action cases. The instant case should be distinguished from Califano for two reasons. See Abbadessa v. Moore Business Forms, Inc., 987 F.2d 18, 22 (1st Cir.1993); EEOC v. Trabucco, 791 F.2d 1, 2 (1st Cir.1986). 1946, 1961, 60 L.Ed.2d 560 (1979). In the first appeal, a panel of this court elucidated the applicable legal framework, upholding the substance of the district court's interpretation and application of the law in granting plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction,1 and rejecting essentially the same legal arguments Brown makes here. Id. Even under the individual rights theory of equal protection, reaffirmed in Adarand, 515 U.S. at ----, 115 S.Ct. During the 1990-91 academic year, Brown fielded 16 men's and 15 women's varsity teams on which 566 men and 328 women participated. See Jeffrey H. Orleans, An End To The Odyssey: Equal Athletic Opportunities For Women, 3 Duke J.Gender L. & Pol'y 131, 133-34 (1996). 1996) Although written to prevent discrimination based on gender in educational institutions, Title IX perhaps more than any other law has changed the face of the sport and recreation industries. The relevant facts, legal principles, and procedural history of this case have been set forth in exhaustive detail in the previous opinions issued in this case. We have narrowly confined the intervening controlling authority exception to Supreme Court opinions, en banc opinions of this court, or statutory overrulings. Second, Brown's efforts to evade the controlling authority of Cohen II by recasting its core legal arguments as challenges to the district court's interpretation of the law are unavailing; the primary arguments raised here have already been litigated and decided adversely to Brown in the prior appeal. 515, ---------, 116 S.Ct. at 190. at 2271, 2275; id. docx.docx from POLI 212 at Walden University. EPA questioned the petitioners' standing to invoke the court's jurisdiction under Article III. I believe that the district court's interpretation of the Policy Interpretation's three-prong test poses serious constitutional difficulties. at n. 47. In addition, there is ample evidence that increased athletics participation opportunities for women and young girls, available as a result of Title IX enforcement, have had salutary effects in other areas of societal concern. To read fully in an absolute sense would make the third prong virtually impossible to satisfy and, therefore, an irrelevant addition to the test. at 1961, and that damages are available for an action brought under Title IX, Franklin v. Gwinnett County Pub. at 1031-33, 1035-37. The Court has been especially critical of the use of statistical evidence offered to prove generalized, stereotypical notions about men and women. The district court found that the women's gymnastics team had won the Ivy League championship in 1989-90 and was a thriving university-funded varsity team prior to the 1991 demotion; that the donor-funded women's fencing team had been successful for many years and that its request to be upgraded to varsity status had been supported by the athletics director at the time; that the donor-funded women's ski team had been consistently competitive despite a meager budget; and that the club-status women's water polo team had demonstrated the interest and ability to compete at full varsity status. We conclude that, even if it can be empirically demonstrated that, at a particular time, women have less interest in sports than do men, such evidence, standing alone, cannot justify providing fewer athletics opportunities for women than for men. at 463 (statistics exhibit a variety of shortcomings that seriously impugn their value to equal protection analysis); id. (iii) No additional discretionary funds will be used for athletics. Indeed, Brown argues as if the prior panel had not decided the precise statutory interpretation questions presented (which it clearly did) and as if the district court's liability analysis were contrary to the law enunciated in Cohen II (which it clearly is not). Id. at 1195-96. At the preliminary injunction stage, Brown propounded the same relative interests argument under prong three. Title IX is an anti-discrimination statute, modeled after Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. In any event, the three-part test is, on its face, entirely consistent with 1681(b) because the test does not require preferential or disparate treatment for either gender. Inc. v. Pena, 515 U.S. 200, ----, 115 S.Ct. of Educ., 476 U.S. 267, 106 S.Ct. App. See Williams v. School Dist. This led the Supreme Court to characterize the provision at issue as remedial rather than benign, noting that the provision had been repealed in 1972, roughly contemporaneously with congressional [anti-discrimination] reforms [that] have lessened the economic justification for the more favorable benefit computation for women. The case is now before us on appeal from the merits and we must review it accordingly. Due to a planned power outage on Friday, 1/14, between 8am-1pm PST, some services may be impacted. 1392, 99 L.Ed.2d 645 (1988); see NLRB v. Catholic Bishop of Chicago, 440 U.S. 490, 507, 99 S.Ct. 8. Cohen III, 879 F.Supp. The right to injunctive relief under Title IX appears to have been impliedly accepted by the Supreme Court in Franklin. Appellees also argue that, to the extent that the equal protection claim is viable, Brown lacks standing to raise it. 93-380, 88 Stat. Whatever may be the merits of adopting strict scrutiny as the standard to be applied to gender-based classifications, it is inappropriate to suggest, as Brown does, that Frontiero compels its application here.Brown's assertion that Adarand obligates this court to apply Croson to its equal protection claim is also incorrect. Thus, we recite the facts as supportably found by the district court in the course of the bench trial on the merits in a somewhat abbreviated fashion. In 1996, the ACLU filed a "friend of the court" brief in support of a challenge to Brown University's athletic program as discriminating on the basis of gender - in violation of Title IX. The district court's decision to fashion specific relief was made, in part, to avoid protracted litigation over the compliance plan and to expedite the appeal on the issue of liability. The district court concluded, and the majority appears to agree, that Brown failed to satisfy prong two because merely reducing program offerings to the overrepresented gender does not constitute program expansion for the underrepresented gender. Majority Opinion at 166. at 189. Despite these statements, however, the majority in its opinion today, and the district court before it, have failed to give Brown University freedom to craft its own athletic program and to choose the priorities of that program. Subsequently, after hearing fourteen days of testimony, the district court granted plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction, ordering, inter alia, that the women's gymnastics and volleyball teams be reinstated to university-funded varsity status, and prohibiting Brown from eliminating or reducing the status or funding of any existing women's intercollegiate varsity team until the case was resolved on the merits. The Court's 7-1 decision established the "separate but equal" doctrine. 2721, 61 L.Ed.2d 480 (1979) (upholding a collective bargaining agreement that set aside for blacks half the places in a new training program until the percentage of blacks among skilled workers at the plant was commensurate with the percentage of blacks in the local labor force); Regents of the Univ. Loving v. Virginia, 388 U.S. 1, 8-9, 87 S.Ct. the ratio of women athlete in Brown University in 1991. The Court in Adarand singled out Metro Broadcasting as a significant departure from much of the Equal Protection jurisprudence that had come before it, in part because it suggested that benign government race-conscious classifications should be treated less skeptically than others. To the extent that Congress expressed a specific intent germane to the district court's interpretation, Congress, if anything, expressed an aversion to quotas as a method to enforce Title IX. The methods are responsive to the expressed interests of students capable of intercollegiate competition who are members of an underrepresented sex.44 Fed.Reg. Thus, the legislative history strongly suggests that the underscored language defines what is proscribed (in the contexts of admissions and hiring) in terms of a geographical area, beyond the institution, and does not refer to an imbalance within the university, with respect to the representation of each gender in intercollegiate athletics, as compared to the gender makeup of the student body. 71,413, 71,414. Cohen v. Brown University, 101 F.3d 155 (1st. Accordingly, we deem the argument waived. at 1848, on the basis of facts insufficient to support a prima facie case of a constitutional or statutory violation, Croson, 488 U.S. at 500, 109 S.Ct. 106.41(c)(1) (1995), regardless of its performance with respect to other Title IX areas. Accordingly, we remand the case to the district court so that Brown can submit a further plan for its consideration. We agree with the prior panel and the district court that Brown's relative interests approach cannot withstand scrutiny on either legal or policy grounds, Cohen II, 991 F.2d at 900, because it disadvantages women and undermines the remedial purposes of Title IX by limiting required program expansion for the underrepresented sex to the status quo level of relative interests, Cohen III, 879 F.Supp. 16. We emphasize that, on the facts of this case, Brown's lack-of-interest arguments are of no consequence. 938, 130 L.Ed.2d 883 (1995); Favia v. Indiana Univ. 1681-1688 (Title IX), and its implementing regulations, 34 C.F.R. See, e.g., Frank DeFord, The Women of Atlanta, Newsweek, June 10, 1996, at 62-71; Tharp, supra, at 33; Robert Kuttner, Vicious Circle of Exclusion, Washington Post, September 4, 1996, at A15. A second Supreme Court case has also made it necessary to review our decision in Cohen II. E.g., A.M. Capen's Co. v. American Trading and Prod. Later in the opinion, however, when the level of interest among women at Brown is at issue, the court adopts a much more critical attitude towards statistical evidence: [T]here exists the danger that, rather than providing a true measure of women's interest in sports, statistical evidence purporting to reflect women's interest instead provides only a measure of the very discrimination that is and has been the basis for women's lack of opportunity. Majority Opinion at 179. The individual defendants are, respectively, the President and Athletic Director of the University. Under even the largest athletic program, it would be surprising to find that there is not a single student who would prefer to participate in athletics but does not do so because the school does not offer a program in the particular sport that interests the student. at 3-4. While they point to Congress' decision to delegate authority to the relevant agencies, this does not amount to a genuine-that is, not hypothesized or invented in view of litigation, id. When an appeal comes to us in that posture, the appellate court's conclusions as to the merits of the issues presented on preliminary injunction are to be understood as statements of probable outcomes, rather than as comprising the ultimate law of the case. A.M. Capen's Co. v. American Trading and Prod. While some gender-conscious relief may adversely impact one gender-a fact that has not been demonstrated in this case-that alone would not make the relief affirmative action or the consequence of that relief reverse discrimination. To the contrary, race- and gender-conscious remedies are both appropriate and constitutionally permissible under a federal anti-discrimination regime, although such remedial measures are still subject to equal protection review. Applying 1681(b), the prior panel held that Title IX does not mandate strict numerical equality between the gender balance of a college's athletic program and the gender balance of its student body. Cohen II, 991 F.2d at 894. at 3336; J.E.B. is inconsistent with Brown's philosophy to the extent that it grants advantages and enforces disadvantages upon student athletes solely because of their gender and curbs the historic role of coaches in determining the number of athletes which can be provided an opportunity to participate. We view Brown's argument that women are less interested than men in participating in intercollegiate athletics, as well as its conclusion that institutions should be required to accommodate the interests and abilities of its female students only to the extent that it accommodates the interests and abilities of its male students, with great suspicion. This argument rests, in part, upon Brown's reading of 20 U.S.C. at 211. at 211. Accordingly, and notwithstanding Brown's protestations to the contrary, the Title VII concept of the qualified pool has no place in a Title IX analysis of equal opportunities for male and female athletes because women are not qualified to compete for positions on men's teams, and vice-versa. Consistent with the school desegregation cases, the question of substantial proportionality under the Policy Interpretation's three-part test is merely the starting point for analysis, rather than the conclusion; a rebuttable presumption, rather than an inflexible requirement. 1287, 1288-89, 28 L.Ed.2d 582 (1971) (recognizing that measures required to remedy race discrimination will almost invariably require race-conscious classifications, and that [a]ny other approach would freeze the status quo that is the very target of all desegregation processes). The Seventh Circuit did not consider the question of whether, had the defendant University of Illinois not been in compliance, lack of compliance with the three-prong test alone would trigger automatic liability, nor did the Seventh Circuit spell out what steps would have been required of defendant. 1993) Key Search Terms: Title IX, cut-backs, college athletics Facts In response to budgeting restrictions and financial problems, Brown University demoted women's volleyball, women's gymnastics, men's golf, and men's water polo to intercollegiate club sports. at 2491. at 64-66, 71-73, 112 S.Ct. Nor did Brown satisfy prong two. The district court itself pointed out that Brown may achieve compliance with Title IX in a number of ways: It may eliminate its athletic program altogether, it may elevate or create the requisite number of women's positions, it may demote or eliminate the requisite number of men's positions, or it may implement a combination of these remedies. Section 1681(b) provides: Nothing contained in subsection (a) of this section shall be interpreted to require any educational institution to grant preferential or disparate treatment to the members of one sex on account of an imbalance which may exist with respect to the total number or percentage of persons of that sex participating in or receiving the benefits of any federally supported program or activity, in comparison with the total number or percentage of persons of that sex in any community, State, section or other area. Compare Virginia, 518U.S. at 190. 706, 102 L.Ed.2d 854, the Court applied strict scrutiny in striking down a municipal minority set-aside program for city construction contracts. Moreover, Webster, which Cohen II cited along with Metro Broadcasting, was not overruled or in any way rendered suspect by Adarand. Thus, at the heart of this litigation is the question whether Title IX permits Brown to deny its female students equal opportunity to participate in sports, based upon its unproven assertion that the district court's finding of a significant disparity in athletics opportunities for male and female students reflects, not discrimination in Brown's intercollegiate athletics program, but a lack of interest on the part of its female students that is unrelated to a lack of opportunities. at 211. As noted in Cohen, 879 F.Supp. Notwithstanding the requirements of paragraph (a) of this section, a recipient may operate or sponsor separate teams for members of each sex where selection of such teams is based upon competitive skill or the activity involved is a contact sport. Trades Council, 485 U.S. 568, 108 S.Ct. Dees asked civil rights leader Julian Bond to serve as president, a largely honorary position; he resigned in 1979 but remained on the board . These teams included 479 men and 312 women. 44 Fed.Reg. 71,418, are not manifestly contrary to the objectives of Title IX, and Congress has specifically delegated to an agency the responsibility to articulate standards governing a particular area, we must accord the ensuing regulation considerable deference. THE PLAINTIFF CLASS. Id. Cohen v. Brown Univ., 991 F.2d 888, 907 (1st Cir.1993) ("Cohen II "). 845, 848-49, 78 L.Ed.2d 663 (1984) (instructing appellate courts to ignore errors that do not affect the essential fairness of the trial). In response, appellees cite Kelley v. Board of Trustees, 35 F.3d 265 271 (1994), for the proposition that the three-prong test does not constitute a quota, because it does not require any educational institution to grant preferential or disparate treatment to the gender underrepresented in that institution's athletic program. In the course of the preliminary injunction hearing, the district court found that, in the academic year 1990-91, Brown funded 31 intercollegiate varsity teams, 16 men's teams and 15 women's teams, Cohen I, 809 F.Supp. at 898.
