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. Brown argues that the district court erred in concluding that it was obligated to give substantial deference to the Policy Interpretation, on the ground that the interpretation is not a worthy candidate for deference, Reply Br. Establishing that a school is moving inexorably closer to satisfying a requirement that demands statistical balancing can only be done by demonstrating an improvement in the statistical balance. at 55. Finding Brown's bare assertions to be unpersuasive, we decline the invitation to this court to change its mind. The precedent established by the prior panel is not clearly erroneous; it is the law of this case and the law of this circuit. 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. At FindLaw.com, we pride ourselves on being the number one source of free legal information and resources on the web. In Metro Broadcasting, the Court upheld two federally mandated race-based preference policies under intermediate scrutiny. E.g., A.M. Capen's Co. v. American Trading and Prod. Rather than turning that ruling into a permanent one, we should review the question in light of the full set of facts now available. Thus, Brown will fully comply with Title IX by meeting the standards of prong three, without approaching satisfaction of the standards of prong one. Filed: 1993-04-16 Precedential Status: Precedential Citations: 991 F.2d 888 Docket: 92-2483 The public perceives a judiciary that reflects a cross-section of its community as fairer with the potential to be better understand--or excuse me--with the potential to better understand their realities. at 3336; J.E.B. Brown also fails to recognize that Title IX's remedial focus is, quite properly, not on the overrepresented gender, but on the underrepresented gender; in this case, women. at 18 (citing Adarand, 515U.S. In Frontiero, a plurality of the Court concluded that gender-based classifications, like classifications based upon race, alienage, or national origin, are inherently suspect, and must therefore be subjected to strict judicial scrutiny. 411 U.S. at 688, 93 S.Ct. at 899 (citations omitted). A recipient which operates or sponsors interscholastic, intercollegiate, club or intramural athletics shall provide equal athletic opportunity for members of both sexes. We also observed, however, that [w]e are a society that cherishes academic freedom and recognizes that universities deserve great leeway in their operations. 991 F.2d at 906 (citing Wynne v. Tufts Univ. at 456, and the test applied in both Metro Broadcasting and Webster.The phrase exceedingly persuasive justification has been employed routinely by the Supreme Court in applying intermediate scrutiny to gender discrimination claims and is, in effect, a short-hand expression of the well-established test. This is a class action lawsuit charging Brown University, its president, and its athletic director (collectively "Brown") with violating Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, 20 U.S.C. For this reason, and because recruitment of interested athletes is at the discretion of the institution, there is a risk that the institution will recruit only enough women to fill positions in a program that already under represents women, and that the smaller size of the women's program will have the effect of discouraging women's participation. Id. The individual defendants are, respectively, the President and Athletic Director of the University. 3331, 3336, 73 L.Ed.2d 1090 (1982), with Metro Broadcasting, 497 U.S. at 564-65, 110 S.Ct. It does not follow from the fact that 1681(b) was patterned after a Title VII provision that Title VII standards should be applied to a Title IX analysis of whether an intercollegiate athletics program equally accommodates both genders, as Brown contends. The Court's 7-1 decision established the "separate but equal" doctrine. See Grivois v. Brown, 6 Vet. If the athletes competing in sports for which the university is permitted to field single-sex teams are excluded from the calculation of participation rates, the proportion of women participants would increase dramatically and prong one might be satisfied. 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. 20. 5807 (1972) (statement of Sen. Bayh); 117 Cong.Rec. at 1848. Cir.1994) (citing United States v. Rivera-Martinez, 931 F.2d 148 (1st Cir. 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. While we have acknowledged that there are exceptions to the law of the case doctrine, we have emphasized that the circumstances in which they apply are rare. 1681-1688 (Title IX), and its implementing regulations, 34 C.F.R. Brown, who previously served in the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice, brings to his role extensive experience leading complex litigation, particularly A university does not treat its men's and women's teams equally if it allows the coaches of men's teams to set their own maximum capacity limits but overrides the judgment of coaches of women's teams on the same matter. of Agric., 998 F.2d 824 (10th Cir. 1442, 94 L.Ed.2d 615 (1986) (upholding a temporary program authorizing a county agency to consider sex and race as factors in making promotions in order to achieve a statistically measurable improvement in the representation of women and minorities in major job classifications in which they had been historically underrepresented); Wygant v. Jackson Bd. I believe that we face such a situation in the instant case. Brown maintains that the district court's decision imposes upon universities the obligation to engage in preferential treatment for women by requiring quotas in excess of women's relative interests and abilities. Section 1681(b) was patterned after 703(j) of Title VII, 42 U.S.C. After Cohen II, it cannot be maintained that the relative interests approach is compatible with Title IX's equal accommodation principle as it has been interpreted by this circuit. The plaintiff class comprises all present, future, and potential Brown University women students who participate, seek to participate, and/or are deterred from participating in intercollegiate athletics funded by Brown. As the prior panel recognized, while the question of full and effective accommodation of athletics interests and abilities is potentially a complicated issue where plaintiffs seek to create a new team or to elevate to varsity status a team that has never competed at the varsity level, no such difficulty is presented here, where plaintiffs seek to reinstate what were successful university-funded teams right up until the moment the teams were demoted.16 Cohen II, 991 F.2d at 904; see also Cohen I, 809 F.Supp. 1392, 99 L.Ed.2d 645 (1988); see NLRB v. Catholic Bishop of Chicago, 440 U.S. 490, 507, 99 S.Ct. 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. As noted in Cohen, 879 F.Supp. Bernier v. Boston Edison Co.: bad driver lady crashed into bad . While the Title IX regime permits institutions to maintain gender-segregated teams, the law does not require that student-athletes attending institutions receiving federal funds must compete on gender-segregated teams; nor does the law require that institutions provide completely gender-integrated athletics programs.14 To the extent that Title IX allows institutions to maintain single-sex teams and gender-segregated athletics programs, men and women do not compete against each other for places on team rosters. As a consequence of these demotions, all four teams lost, not only their university funding, but most of the support and privileges that accompany university-funded varsity status at Brown. 706, 102 L.Ed.2d 854 (1989) (striking down a municipal set-aside program requiring that 30% of the city's construction dollars be paid to racial minority subcontractors on an annual basis); Johnson v. Transportation Agency, 480 U.S. 616, 107 S.Ct. Section 1681(b) provides yet another reason why the district court's reading of prong three is troublesome and why Brown's reading is a reasonable alternative. When a team is sponsored only for one sex, however, and where athletic opportunities for members of that sex have previously been limited, members of the excluded sex must be allowed to try-out for the team offered unless the sport involved is a contact sport, id. [T]he Court proceeds to interpret exceedingly persuasive justification in a fashion that contradicts the reasoning of Hogan and our other precedents. Id. See 1B James W.

Even a single person with a reasonable unmet interest defeats compliance. United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. 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.). 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. As previously noted, the district court held that, for purposes of the three-part test, the intercollegiate athletics participation opportunities offered by an institution are properly measured by counting the number of actual participants on intercollegiate teams. This suit was initiated in response to the demotion in May 1991 of Brown's women's gymnastics and volleyball teams from university-funded varsity status to donor-funded varsity status. at 212, is clearly correct. Since the applicable regulation, 34 C.F.R. This action was taken to ensure that the Order was final for purposes of this court's jurisdiction, and to expedite the appeal process. Co., 74 F.3d 317, 322 (1st Cir.1996) (internal quotations omitted); see also Narragansett Indian Tribe v. Guilbert, 934 F.2d 4, 6 (1st Cir.1991). Home. Id. Id. However, in Kelley, the Seventh Circuit, unlike the district court, did not use the three-prong test as a definitive test for liability. Croson Co., 488 U.S. 469, 109 S.Ct. During the same academic year, Brown's undergraduate enrollment comprised 52.4% (2,951) men and 47.6% (2,683) women. at 2728-29 (construing 703(j) of Title VII, upon which 1681(b) of Title IX was based, and concluding that [t]he natural inference is that Congress chose not to forbid all voluntary race-conscious affirmative action).In addition, remedial action and voluntary affirmative action to overcome the effects of gender discrimination are permitted under the Title IX regulations, 34 C.F.R. at 205. We do not question Cohen II's application of 1681(b). 1681, et seq. at 214. [W]here an otherwise acceptable construction of a statute would raise serious constitutional problems, [we] construe the statute to avoid such problems unless such construction is plainly contrary to the intent of Congress. Edward J. DeBartolo Corp. v. Florida Gulf Coast Bldg. 1681(b). Athletic Ass'n, 43 F.3d 265 (6th Cir.1994); Kelley v. Board of Trustees, 35 F.3d 265 (7th Cir.1994), cert. 1681(b). Rather than conduct an inquiry into whether Title IX and its resulting interpretations are benign or remedial, and conscious of the fact that labels can be used to hide illegitimate notions of inferiority or simple politics just as easily in the context of gender as in the context of race, we should now follow Adarand's lead and subject all gender-conscious government action to the same inquiry.25. Even assuming that membership numbers in varsity sports is a reasonable proxy for participation opportunities-a view with which I do not concur-contact sports should be eliminated from the calculus. Brown v. Board of Education, 347 U.S. 483 (1954) - Amicus curiae for Oliver Brown; . First, despite the fact that 76 men and 30 women participated on donor-funded varsity teams, Brown's proposed plan disregarded donor-funded varsity teams. Applying the second prong of the intermediate scrutiny test, we find that the means employed by the district court in fashioning relief for the statutory violation are clearly substantially related to these important objectives. See Linkletter v. Walker, 381 U.S. 618, 627, 85 S.Ct. at 2113. at 71,413. The majority offers no guidance to a school seeking to assess the levels of interest of its students. 9. In that case, Congress specifically found that more frequent and lower age limits were being applied to women than to men in the labor market. It is not necessary to equate race and gender to see that the logic of Adarand-counseling that we focus on the categories and justifications proffered rather than the labels attached-applies in the context of gender. of Educ., 897 F.Supp. U.S. District Court Senior . at 3336 & n. 9 (reviewing benign gender-conscious admissions policy under intermediate scrutiny and recognizing that the analysis does not change with the objective of the classification); accord Wygant, 476 U.S. at 273, 106 S.Ct. Sign in to add some. The court found, however, that it is difficult for donor-funded varsity athletes to maintain a level of competitiveness commensurate with their abilities and that these athletes operate at a competitive disadvantage in comparison to university-funded varsity athletes. Even under the individual rights theory of equal protection, reaffirmed in Adarand, 515 U.S. at ----, 115 S.Ct. ), aff'd, 7 F.3d 332 (3d Cir.1993). All of the negative effects of a quota remain,29 and the school can escape the quota under prong three only by offering preferential treatment to the group that has demonstrated less interest in athletics. 92-2483. It is well established, however, that a decision of the Supreme Court, that is rendered between two appeals and is irreconcilable with the decision on the first appeal, must be followed on the second appeal. It is obvious that Brown's plan was addressed to this court, rather than to offering a workable solution to a difficult problem. While the Supreme Court in Virginia acknowledged that [p]hysical differences between men and women are enduring, id. Although we decline Brown's invitation to find that the district court's remedy was an abuse of discretion, we do find that the district court erred in substituting its own specific relief in place of Brown's statutorily permissible proposal to comply with Title IX by cutting men's teams until substantial proportionality was achieved. 1053, 94 L.Ed.2d 203 (1987) (upholding a one-black-for-one-white promotion requirement ordered by a district court as an interim measure in response to proven discrimination by a state employer); Local 28 ofSheet Metal Workers v. EEOC, 478 U.S. 421, 106 S.Ct. 12. B. 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. To the extent that the rate of interest in athletics diverges between men and women at any institution, the district court's interpretation would require that such an institution treat an individual male student's athletic interest and an individual female student's athletic interest completely differently: one student's reasonable interest would have to be met, by law, while meeting the other student's interest would only aggravate the lack of proportionality giving rise to the legal duty. at 319, 97 S.Ct. Due to a planned power outage on Friday, 1/14, between 8am-1pm PST, some services may be impacted. U.S. District Court Chief Judge John McConnell, Jr. approved a stipulated order on Tuesday in Cohen v. Brown University, the landmark Title IX case, requiring Brown University to pay $1,135,000 . 3331, 3336-37, 73 L.Ed.2d 1090 (1982); Califano v. Webster, 430 U.S. 313, 317, 97 S.Ct. at 12. From a constitutional standpoint, the case before us is altogether different. 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. The instant case should be distinguished from Califano for two reasons. Sch. 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.) (citations omitted). at 2112; see also United States v. Virginia, 518U.S. of Educ. First, Califano did not necessarily rule on benign classifications, as Metro Broadcasting and Adarand clearly did. In order to bring Brown into compliance with prong one under defendants' Phase II, I would have to order Brown to cut enough men's teams to eradicate approximately 213 men's varsity positions. at 190. 1195, 1199, 67 L.Ed.2d 428 (1981); Hogan, 458 U.S. at 724, 102 S.Ct. At the time of Cohen v. Brown University, 991 F.2d 888 (1st Cir.1993) (Cohen II), the standard intermediate scrutiny test for discriminatory classifications based on sex required that a statutory classification must be substantially related to an important government objective. Clark v. Jeter, 486 U.S. 456, 461, 108 S.Ct. 578, 584 (W.D.Pa. The district court noted that there may be other women's club sports with sufficient interest and ability to warrant elevation to varsity status, but that plaintiffs did not introduce at trial substantial evidence demonstrating the existence of other women's club teams meeting the criteria. at 190 n. 14. at 3008-09. 106.41, and policy interpretation, 44 Fed.Reg. 2264, 135 L.Ed.2d 735 (1996), the Court faced an Equal Protection challenge to Virginia's practice of maintaining the Virginia Military Institute as an all male institution.

See, e.g., Mississippi Univ. Contact us. Our respect for academic freedom and reluctance to interject ourselves into the conduct of university affairs counsels that we give universities as much freedom as possible in conducting their operations consonant with constitutional and statutory limits. 1313, 1322, 59 L.Ed.2d 533 (1979). (iv) Four new women's junior varsity teams-basketball, lacrosse, soccer, and tennis-will be university-funded. At the time of Cohen v. Brown University, 991 F.2d 888 (1st Cir.1993) (Cohen II ), the standard intermediate scrutiny . This motion was filed by the original plaintiffs of Cohen v. 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. Expanding women's athletic opportunities in areas where there is proven ability and interest is the very purpose of Title IX and the simplest, least disruptive, route to Title IX compliance at Brown. Id. denied, 507 U.S. 1030, 113 S.Ct. Modified Order of May 4, 1995. In rejecting Brown's equal protection claim, the Cohen II panel stated, It is clear that Congress has broad powers under the Fifth Amendment to remedy past discrimination. 991 F.2d at 901. 106.3, and by the Policy Interpretation, 44 Fed.Reg. The regulation, therefore, allows schools to operate single-sex teams in contact sports. at 214; see also Cohen II, 991 F.2d at 898 n. 15 (noting that a school may achieve compliance with Title IX by reducing opportunities for the overrepresented gender). 1044, 134 L.Ed.2d 191 (1996). Idk. The first prong is met if the school provides participation opportunities for male and female students in numbers substantially proportionate to their enrollments. Horner, 43 F.3d at 273 n. 6 (citing Cohen v. Brown Univ., 991 F.2d 888, 896 n. 10 (1st Cir.1993)). denied, 459 U.S. 828, 103 S.Ct. 21. supra; Heuer v. Brown, 7 Vet.App. Accordingly, even assuming that the three-part test creates a gender classification that favors women, allowing consideration of gender in determining the remedy for a Title IX violation serves the important objective of ensur[ing] that in instances where overall athletic opportunities decrease, the actual opportunities available to the underrepresented gender do not.
