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. See also Weber, 443 U.S. at 201-02, 99 S.Ct. All rights reserved. Here, Brown argues that its challenge is to the decision of the district court. at 27. 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. 1572, 55 L.Ed.2d 797 (1978) (summary affirmance of a district court decision upholding a provision of the Railroad Retirement Act that allowed women to retire at age 60 while men could not retire until age 65). at 55. Moreover, Webster, which Cohen II cited along with Metro Broadcasting, was not overruled or in any way rendered suspect by Adarand. The Policy Interpretation represents the responsible agency's interpretation of the intercollegiate athletics provisions of Title IX and its implementing regulations. In other words, evidence of differential levels of interest is not to be credited because it may simply reflect the result of past discrimination. There is simply no other way to assess participation rates, interest levels, and abilities. A group of states and local governments alleged that EPA has abdicated it responsibility to regulate the emission of greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act. A diverse judiciary is vital to maintaining the public's confidence in the courts. Based on the facts of this case, the Court holds that . Not all sports are the same and the university should be given the flexibility to determine which activities are most beneficial to its student body. A panel of this court affirmed the district court's decision granting a preliminary injunction to the plaintiffs. Therefore, we review the constitutionality of the district court's order requiring Brown to comply with Title IX by accommodating fully and effectively the athletics interests and abilities of its women students. Requiring parallel teams is a rigid approach that denies schools the flexibility to respond to the differing athletic interests of men and women. If statistical evidence of interest levels is not to be considered by courts, however, there is no way for schools to determine whether they are in compliance. Id. In computing these figures, the district court counted as participants in intercollegiate athletics for purposes of Title IX analysis those athletes who were members of varsity teams for the majority of the last complete season. Cohen III, 879 F.Supp. at 2724 (holding that Title VII does not prohibit private employers from voluntarily implementing race-conscious measures to eliminate manifest racial imbalances in traditionally segregated job categories); McDaniel v. Barresi, 402 U.S. 39, 41, 91 S.Ct. Cohen v. Brown University. In its liability analysis, the district court expressly accepted Cohen II' s elucidation of the applicable law, Cohen III, 879 F.Supp. For the purposes of this appeal, we must review findings of fact under a clearly erroneous standard, Reich v. Newspapers of New England, Inc., 44 F.3d 1060, 1069 (1st Cir.1995) and findings of law de novo, Portsmouth v. Schlesinger, 57 F.3d 12, 14 (1st Cir.1995). 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. Although the Court in two places asks whether the State has demonstrated that the classification serves important governmental objectives and that the discriminatory means employed are substantially related to the achievement of those objectives the Court never answers the question presented in anything resembling that form. Id. To do so, the school must fully and effectively accommodate the underrepresented gender's interests and abilities, even if that requires it to give the underrepresented gender (in this case, women) what amounts to a larger slice of a shrinking athletic-opportunity pie. As to the propriety of Brown's proposal to come into compliance by the addition of junior varsity positions, the district court held: Positions on distinct junior varsity squads do not qualify as intercollegiate competition opportunities under the Policy Interpretation and should not be included in defendants' plan. Brown sought to introduce the NCAA Gender Equity Study and the results of an undergraduate poll on student interest in athletics, but was not permitted to do so. 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. Brown's talismanic incantation of affirmative action has no legal application to this case and is not helpful to Brown's cause. 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. We must, as Brown urges, reexamine the Equal Protection challenge to the three-prong test as interpreted by the district court. supreme court rules unanimously that plaintiff's filing title IX lawsuits are entitled to receive punitive damages ($$) when . There can be no doubt that Title IX has changed the face of women's sports as well as our society's interest in and attitude toward women athletes and women's sports. The right to injunctive relief under Title IX appears to have been impliedly accepted by the Supreme Court in Franklin. In my view it is the result of the test, and not the number of steps involved, that should determine if a quota system exists. Cir. As a Division I institution within the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) with respect to all sports but football, Brown participates at the highest level of NCAA competition.2 Cohen III, 879 F.Supp. Brown contends that an athletics program equally accommodates both genders and complies with Title IX if it accommodates the relative interests and abilities of its male and female students. It is no less a quota if an exception exists for schools whose gender ratio differs from that of the local population but which admit every applicant of the underrepresented gender. While it is difficult to point to one particular case and hold it up as the definitive . 20 U.S.C. To read fully in an absolute sense would make the third prong virtually impossible to satisfy and, therefore, an irrelevant addition to the test. The district court's conclusion with respect to prong two, however, implies that a school must not only demonstrate that the proportion of women in their program is growing over time, it must also show that the absolute number of women participating is increasing.26. Rather than respecting the school's right to determine the role athletics will play in the future-including reducing the opportunities available to the formerly overrepresented gender to ensure proportionate opportunities-the district court and the majority demand that the absolute number of opportunities provided to the underrepresented gender be increased. In Cohen II, we applied precisely this type of benign-classification analysis to what we viewed to be benign gender discrimination by the federal government. Brown merely asserts, however, that the study was admissible under Rule 803, id. 595, 598-99 (1987) (footnotes omitted), and has been said to lie half way between stare decisis and res judicata, 1B Moore at 0.404[1] n. 3 (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). 30. at 12. 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). 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. Title IX provides that [n]o person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance. 20 U.S.C.A. at 3336. Amy COHEN, et al., Plaintiffs-Appellees, v. BROWN UNIVERSITY, et al., Defendants-Appellants. at ----, 116 S.Ct. Id. 1681-1688 (1988) ("Title IX"). The binding authority of Cohen II, therefore, is lessened by the fact that it was an appeal from a preliminary injunction. One need look no further than the impressive performances of our country's women athletes in the 1996 Olympic Summer Games to see that Title IX has had a dramatic and positive impact on the capabilities of our women athletes, particularly in team sports. 5804 (1972) (remarks of Sen. Bayh); North Haven Bd. at 192. 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. 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. In Cohen v. Brown University, plaintiff Amy Cohen challenges the elimination of women's gymnastics and volleyball teams. This precedent-setting ruling, which set the standard for determining a school's compliance with Title IX in . 106.41(c)(1) (1995), regardless of its performance with respect to other Title IX areas. 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. Under the new standards established in those cases, Cohen II is flawed both because it applies a lenient version of intermediate scrutiny that is impermissible following Adarand and because it did not apply the exceedingly persuasive justification test of Virginia. [W]hereas Title VII is largely peremptory, Title IX is largely aspirational, and thus, a loosely laced buskin. Id. Since the applicable regulation, 34 C.F.R. We then consider the district court's order rejecting Brown's plan and the specific relief ordered by the court in its place. Loving v. Virginia, 388 U.S. 1, 8-9, 87 S.Ct. Specifically, with respect to Title IX's guarantee that no person shall be excluded on the basis of sex from participation in, be denied the benefits of or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance, 20 U.S.C.

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. at 2275 (internal quotations omitted) (emphasis added). Prong three of the three-prong test states that, where an institution does not comply with prongs one or two, compliance will be assessed on the basis of. 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. In fact, appellees have failed to point to any congressional statement or indication of intent regarding a proportional representation scheme as applied by the district court. We think it important to bear in mind, however, the congressional concerns that inform the proper interpretation of this provision. Neither this court nor the Supreme Court has drawn this distinction in the context of gender discrimination claims or held that a less stringent standard applies in cases involving benign, rather than invidious, gender discrimination. Two schools declined to include Brown in future varsity schedules when women's volleyball was demoted to donor-funded status. at 56-57. 684, 121 L.Ed.2d 605 (1993); Young v.

Cohen III, 879 F.Supp. 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. Under the Policy Interpretation,Institutions may determine the athletic interests and abilities of students by nondiscriminatory methods of their choosing provided:a. Cohen v. Brown University 101 F.3d 155 (1996) Vote: 9-0 Facts: By 1991, Brown University (defendant) had created 15 of Higher Educ., 524 F.Supp. at 314-16, 97 S.Ct. 2021), cert. Plaintiff: Amy Cohen and other members of the gymnastics team as well as member of the women's volleyball team. The methods are responsive to the expressed interests of students capable of intercollegiate competition who are members of an underrepresented sex.44 Fed.Reg. It would remain under monitoring today. Brown's decision to demote the women's volleyball and gymnastics teams and the men's water polo and golf teams from university-funded varsity status was apparently made in response to a university-wide cost-cutting directive. at 3-4. In Mora, the plaintiff began clocking into work via fingerprint scan in 2014. Id. The Policy Interpretation was designed specifically for intercollegiate athletics.12 44 Fed.Reg. 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. at 71,413. v. Bakke, 438 U.S. 265, 98 S.Ct. at 2104 (quoting Northeastern Fla. Chapter, Assoc'd Gen'l Contractors of America v. Jacksonville, 508 U.S. 656, 666, 113 S.Ct.

And those characteristics are present here in spades. Also consistent with the school desegregation cases, the substantial proportionality test of prong one is applied under the Title IX framework, not mechanically, but case-by-case, in a fact-specific manner. Norfolk, November 28.The injunc tion granted on the part of the special tax bondholders vs. the State Teasurer, was opened to-day before Judges Brooks and Bond and was argued by Walker J. Budd, of Baltimore, for the plaintiff, and Geo. 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. Id. at 2726-27 (construing the prohibition against race discrimination contained in 703(a) and (d) of Title VII, and concluding that an interpretation of the sections that forbade all race-conscious affirmative action would bring about an end completely at variance with the purpose of the statute and must be rejected) (internal quotation marks and citations omitted); id.

Benjamin D. Brown is a partner at Cohen Milstein and co-chair of the Antitrust practice group. 1171, 1175-76, 113 L.Ed.2d 117 (1991) (quoting Lyng v. Payne, 476 U.S. 926, 939, 106 S.Ct. No aspect of the Title IX regime at issue in this case-inclusive of the statute, the relevant regulation, and the pertinent agency documents-mandates gender-based preferences or quotas, or specific timetables for implementing numerical goals. [n]othing contained [therein] 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 the 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. Under the three-part test, the institution may also excuse the disparity under prong two, by showing a history and continuing practice of program expansion which is demonstrably responsive to the developing interest and abilities of the [underrepresented gender], 44 Fed.Reg. 597, 130 L.Ed.2d 509 (1994), we find none. Modified Order of May 4, 1995. Prong one, for example, requires that participation opportunities be provided proportionately to enrollment, but does not mandate any absolute number of such opportunities. In light of the above, Brown argues that prong three is in fact ambiguous with respect to whether fully means (1) an institution must meet 100% of the underrepresented gender's unmet reasonable interest and ability, or (2) an institution must meet the underrepresented gender's unmet reasonable interest and ability as fully as it meets those of the overrepresented gender. At the time of Cohen v. Brown University, 991 F.2d 888 (1st Cir.1993) (Cohen II ), the standard intermediate scrutiny . at 5. The district court entered final judgment on September 1, 1995, and on September 27, 1995, denied Brown's motion for additional findings of fact and to amend the judgment. 1419, --------- and n. 6, 128 L.Ed.2d 89 (1994)), and Mississippi Univ. For example, if a university chooses to sponsor a football team, it is permitted to sponsor only a men's team. at 3008. 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. Croson Co., 488 U.S. 469, 109 S.Ct. Brown's proposed compliance plan stated its goal as follows: The plan has one goal: to make the gender ratio among University-funded teams at Brown substantially proportionate to the gender ratio of the undergraduate student body. (iv) Four new women's junior varsity teams-basketball, lacrosse, soccer, and tennis-will be university-funded. Indeed, the plan is replete with argumentative statements more appropriate for an appellate brief. 1681(a) (1988). Snyder v. Turk: doctor shoved nurse into cavity . 706, 721-22, 102 L.Ed.2d 854 (1989). 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 See Cohen II, 991 F.2d at 901. 1192, 1194-95, 51 L.Ed.2d 360 (1977); Frontiero v. Richardson, 411 U.S. 677, 684-86, 93 S.Ct. to participate in their sports as "intercollegiate clubs," but would not receive financial assistance from the university. The law of the case doctrine is akin to the doctrines of collateral estoppel, res judicata, and stare decisis, Joan Steinman, Law Of The Case: A Judicial Puzzle In Consolidated And Transferred Cases And In MultiDistrict Litigation, 135 U.Penn.L.Rev. The fact of gender-conscious classification, even with equal enforcement with respect to both genders, requires the application of a higher level of scrutiny than rational basis review. at 208. 2000d (Title VI).8 See Cannon, 441 U.S. at 696, 99 S.Ct. at 189. As interpreted by the district court, the test constitutes an affirmative action, quota-based scheme. 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. Thus, Brown contends, to meet fully-in an absolute sense-the interests and abilities of an underrepresented gender, while unmet interest among the overrepresented gender continues, would contravene the governing principle of equally effective accommodat[ion] of the interests and abilities of students of both genders. I conclude, therefore, that Adarand and Virginia are irreconcilable with the analysis in Cohen II and, accordingly, we must follow the guidance of the Supreme Court in this appeal. Although the statute itself provides for no remedies beyond the termination of federal funding, the Supreme Court has determined that Title IX is enforceable through an implied private right of action, Cannon, 441 U.S. at 703, 99 S.Ct. because of football teams. Similarly, the district court's interpretation requires the school to accommodate the interests of every female student until proportionality is reached. Brown v. Board of Education, 347 U.S. 483 (1954) - Amicus curiae for Oliver Brown; . Brown argued at trial that there is no consistent measure of actual participation rates because team size varies throughout the athletic season, and that there is no consistent measure of actual participation rates because there are alternative definitions of participant that yield very different participation totals. Id. 1028, 1038, 117 L.Ed.2d 208 (1992). 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. 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. 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. 71,413, 71,418 (December 11, 1979). As we have explained, Croson's factual concerns are not raised by a district court's determination-predicated upon duly adjudicated factual findings bearing multiple indicia of reliability and specificity-of gender discrimination in violation of a federal statute. While the Supreme Court in Virginia acknowledged that [p]hysical differences between men and women are enduring, id. Brown v.
