Feeney, 442 U.S. 256, 273, 99 S.Ct. 7261(a)(1). Applying these principles, Cohen II held that the applicable regulation, 34 C.F.R. In the course of the trial on the merits, the district court found that, in 1993-94, there were 897 students participating in intercollegiate varsity athletics, of which 61.87% (555) were men and 38.13% (342) were women. 1996) 101 F.3d 155, 179-180); WHEREAS, Through the enactment of Assembly Bill No . at 2294 (citations omitted). 515, ----, ----, 116 S.Ct. Brown . The same could be said of any individual sport, including golf, track and field, cycling, fencing, archery, and so on. Title IX is not an affirmative action statute; it is an anti-discrimination statute, modeled explicitly after another anti-discrimination statute, Title VI. Cohen v. Brown University 1st Circuit Court of Appeals 991 F.2d 888 (1st Cir. 689, 126 L.Ed.2d 656 (1994). T.B., 511 U.S. 127, 136-37, and n. 6, 114 S.Ct. Cohen v. Brown Univ., 809 F.Supp. 2038, 2048, 132 L.Ed.2d 63 (1995) (acknowledging the constitutional permissibility of court-ordered, race-conscious remedial plans designed to restore victims of discrimination to the positions they would have occupied in the absence of such conduct); Fullilove, 448 U.S. at 483, 100 S.Ct. Prong three requires some kind of evidence of interest in athletics, and the Title IX framework permits the use of statistical evidence in assessing the level of interest in sports.15 Nevertheless, to allow a numbers-based lack-of-interest defense to become the instrument of further discrimination against the underrepresented gender would pervert the remedial purpose of Title IX. Neither appellees nor the district court have demonstrated an exceedingly persuasive justification for the government action that the district court has directed in this case. Id. After all, the district court itself stated that one of the compliance options available to Brown under Title IX is to demote or eliminate the requisite number of men's positions. Cohen III, 879 F.Supp. 17. 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. Cohen II held that the Policy Interpretation is entitled to substantial deference because it is the enforcing agency's considered interpretation of the regulation. 991 F.2d at 896-97. 6. ; see also North Haven, 456 U.S. at 521, 102 S.Ct. 1681(b) (West 1990) (emphasis added). The Policy Interpretation recognizes that women's lower rate of participation in athletics reflects women's historical lack of opportunities to participate in sports. 1044, 134 L.Ed.2d 191 (1996). Brown argues that the district court's interpretation of the three-part test requires numerical proportionality, thus imposing a gender-based quota scheme in contravention of the statute. It is also worthwhile to note that to fully accommodate the interests and abilities of the underrepresented sex is an extraordinarily high-perhaps impossibly so-requirement. Law School Case Brief; Cohen v. Brown Univ. We therefore affirm in all respects the district court's analysis and rulings on the issue of liability. (1971), reprinted in 1972 U.S.C.C.A.N. The prior panel rejected Brown's Fifth Amendment equal protection20 and affirmative action challenges to the statutory scheme. The law of the case doctrine is a prudential rule of policy and practice, rather than an absolute bar to reconsideration [] or a limitation on a federal court's power. Rivera-Martinez, 931 F.2d at 150-51. 978, 1001 (D.R.I.1992) ("Cohen I "). At the preliminary injunction stage, Brown propounded the same relative interests argument under prong three. The email address cannot be subscribed. (b)Separate teams. I see no possible justification for this interpretation-the regulation is intended to protect against discrimination, not to promote athletics on college campuses. It has been determined that Brown cannot avail itself of this defense. 2097, 132 L.Ed.2d 158 (1995), however, courts applying intermediate scrutiny sometimes allowed benign gender classifications on the grounds that they were a reasonable means of compensating women as a class for past discrimination. Ronald D. Rotunda & John E. Novack, 3 Treatise on Constitutional Law 18.23, at 277; see Califano v. Webster, 430 U.S. 313, 317, 97 S.Ct. The district court found that these two flaws in the proposed plan were sufficient to show that Brown had not made a good faith effort to comply with this Court's mandate. Id. Indeed, the plan is replete with argumentative statements more appropriate for an appellate brief. Villanueva v. Wellesley College, 930 F.2d 124, 129 (1st Cir.1991) (citations omitted). Comm'n, 463 U.S. 582, 103 S.Ct. Only where the plaintiff meets the burden of proof on these elements and the institution fails to show as an affirmative defense a history and continuing practice of program expansion responsive to the interests and abilities of the . All rights reserved. See Missouri v. Jenkins, 515 U.S. 70, ----, 115 S.Ct. 27. 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. 1682. . 2282, 2293, 60 L.Ed.2d 870 (1979); Kirchberg v. Feenstra, 450 U.S. 455, 461, 101 S.Ct. At the time of trial, Brown offered 479 university-funded varsity positions for men, as compared to 312 for women; and 76 donor-funded varsity positions for men, as compared to 30 for women. For the reasons that follow, we conclude that no exception to the law of the case doctrine applies here and, therefore, that Cohen II's rulings of law control the disposition of this appeal. 398. Brown therefore should be afforded the opportunity to submit another plan for compliance with Title IX. 1993) (Cohen II), the standard intermediate scrutiny test . 580, 126 L.Ed.2d 478 (1993). at 3338 (In limited circumstances, a gender-based classification favoring one sex can be justified if it intentionally and directly assists members of the sex that is disproportionately burdened.). See 1B James W. Moore et al., Moore's Federal Practice 0.404 [1] (2d ed. at 1917-18 (directing that Title IX must be accorded a sweep as broad as its language). 572, 577-78, 42 L.Ed.2d 610 (1975). Put another way, I agree that Title IX is not an affirmative action statute, id., but I believe that is exactly what the district court has made of it. Title VI prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin in institutions benefitting from federal funds. See Cohen II, 991 F.2d at 901. Specifically, the Supreme Court announced that. Id. What is important for our purposes is that the Supreme Court appears to have elevated the test applicable to sex discrimination cases to require an exceedingly persuasive justification. This is evident from the language of both the majority opinion and the dissent in Virginia. Id. at 29; Reply Br. Thus, plaintiffs contended, what appeared to be the even-handed demotions of two men's and two women's teams, in fact, perpetuated Brown's discriminatory treatment of women in the administration of its intercollegiate athletics program. Chevron, U.S.A. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc., 467 U.S. 837, 844, 104 S.Ct.

Reviewing the district court's evidentiary rulings for abuse of discretion, see Sinai v. New England Tel. According to the statute's senate sponsor, Title IX was intended to. I fail to see how these statements can be reconciled with the claim that Brown cannot satisfy prong two by reducing the number of participation opportunities for men. In Fullilove, a plurality of the Court applied a standard subsequently acknowledged to be intermediate scrutiny, see Metro Broadcasting, 497 U.S. at 564, 110 S.Ct. Section 1681(b) was patterned after 703(j) of Title VII, 42 U.S.C. But any such departure demands special justification.) (quoting Arizona v. Rumsey, 467 U.S. 203, 212, 104 S.Ct.

Law School Case Brief; Cohen v. Brown Univ. at 1196. In reviewing equal protection challenges to such plans, the Court is concerned that government bodies are reaching out to implement race- or gender-conscious remedial measures that are ageless in their reach into the past, and timeless in their ability to affect the future, Wygant, 476 U.S. at 276, 106 S.Ct. As the Seventh Circuit observed, Congress itself recognized that addressing discrimination in athletics presented a unique set of problems not raised in areas such as employment and academics. Kelley, 35 F.3d at 270 (citing Sex Discrimination Regulations, Hearings Before the Subcommittee on Post Secondary Education of the Committee on Education and Labor, 94th Cong., 1st Sess. Brown has contended throughout this litigation that the significant disparity in athletics opportunities for men and women at Brown is the result of a gender-based differential in the level of interest in sports and that the district court's application of the three-part test requires universities to provide athletics opportunities for women to an extent that exceeds their relative interests and abilities in sports. On remand, the district court determined after a lengthy bench trial that Brown's intercollegiate athletics program violates Title IX and its supporting regulations. at 211. at ----, 116 S.Ct.

Jackson Bd. This prong surely requires statistical balancing. 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. Reasoning that [w]here both the athlete and coach determine that there is a place on the team for a student, it is not for this Court to second-guess their judgment and impose its own, or anyone else's, definition of a valuable or genuine varsity experience, the district court concluded that [e]very varsity team member is therefore a varsity participant. Id. Accordingly, I would reverse and remand for further proceedings. After mapping Title IX's rugged legal terrain and cutting a passable swath through the factual thicket that overspreads the parties' arguments, we affirm. at 71,413. The district court ordered Brown to elevate and maintain women's gymnastics, women's water polo, women's skiing, and women's fencing to university-funded varsity status. Id. As previously noted, Title IX itself specifies only that the statute shall not be interpreted to require gender-based preferential or disparate treatment. We acknowledge that we have repeatedly emphasized that conclusions and holdings regarding the merits of issues presented on appeal from a grant of a preliminary injunction are to be understood as statements as to probable outcomes. 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). The district court held that, because Brown maintains a 13.01% disparity between female participation in intercollegiate athletics and female student enrollment, it cannot gain the protection of prong one. Cohen III, 879 F.Supp. The controversy in this case began in April 1968, when Paul Robert Cohen wore a jacket bearing the words "Fuck the Draft" into a Los Angeles courthouse. Id.

E.g., A.M. Capen's Co. v. American Trading and Prod. 1535, 1557 (D.Ala.1995) (stating that courts must look behind the recitation of a benign purpose to ensure that sex-based classifications redress past discrimination). Based on an analysis of membership in varsity teams, the district court concluded that there existed a disparity between female participation in intercollegiate athletics and female student enrollment. 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. at 5. 28. Co. of Am., 916 F.2d 731, 734 (1st Cir.1990) (It is settled in this circuit that issues adverted to on appeal in a perfunctory manner, unaccompanied by some developed argumentation, are deemed to have been abandoned.)

Courts and institutions must have some way of determining whether an institution complies with the mandate of Title IX and its supporting regulations to provide equal athletics opportunities for both genders, despite the fact that the institution maintains single-sex teams, and some way of fashioning a remedy upon a determination that the institution does not equally and effectively accommodate the interests and abilities of both genders. See Metro Broadcasting, 497 U.S. at 564, 110 S.Ct. Equal Protection is implicated where the claim is made that a classification made by the government intentionally subjects an individual to treatment different from similarly situated individuals based on an impermissible characteristic, such as race, national origin, or gender. See Cohen v. Brown Univ., 16 F.4th 935, 940-41 (1st Cir. 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. and Tel.

Ohio, 499 U.S. 400, 409-11, 111 S.Ct. 18. 34, 40 (1977) (Cox)), prompting former HEW Secretary Caspar Weinberger to remark, I had not realized until the comment period that athletics is the single most important thing in the United States, id. It is clearly in the best interest of both the male and the female athletes to have an increase in women's opportunities and a small decrease in men's opportunities, if necessary, rather than, as under Brown's plan, no increase in women's opportunities and a large decrease in men's opportunities. at 463 (statistics exhibit a variety of shortcomings that seriously impugn their value to equal protection analysis); id. The court noted further that, because merely reducing program offerings to the overrepresented gender does not constitute program expansion for the underrepresented gender, the fact that Brown has eliminated or demoted several men's teams does not amount to a continuing practice of program expansion for women. This extreme action is entirely unnecessary. Cohen v. Brown Univ., 809 F.Supp. 1 On January 17, 2021, the Amendment to the Joint Agreement was appealed by Plaintiff Class Member Objectors. 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.
