Podcasts about education amendments

It's Wednesday, June 4th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Christians persecuted in Mali, Africa by military junta Christians are facing increased persecution in Mali after the military junta initiated a crackdown in May. The military of the West African nation dissolved all political parties in the crackdown. Jo Newhouse with Open Doors Sub-Saharan Africa said, “Christians in Mali have faced increasing persecution over the past few years. By closing the democratic space, and further encroaching on civil liberties, the junta is adding unwelcome pressure to an already volatile situation.” Please pray for the church in Mali, Africa. The country is ranked 14th on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the most difficult places to be a Christian.  Ukrainian evangelist: Thousands coming to Christ A Ukrainian evangelist addressed the European Congress on Evangelism in Berlin, Germany last Thursday. Evangelist David Karcha reported that Ukrainian Evangelicals have been ministering to their fellow countrymen since Russia invaded the country in 2022. Churches are seeing thousands of people come to Christ during the war. Karcha said, “In the world's eyes, Ukraine is a story of war. But in God's eyes, it is a story of revival, a story that reminds us all that the Gospel advances.” 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 says, “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds … and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God.” American economy predicted to grow by only 1.6% this year The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development cut its economic growth outlook for the United States. The group forecasts the U.S. economy will expand by 1.6% this year, down from its previous forecast of 2.2%. Experts also expect global economic growth to slow this year in the wake of U.S President Donald Trump's tariff policies. They also noted, “trade uncertainty and economic policy uncertainty has reached unprecedented levels.” Dept of Ed. shuns homosexual pride month, celebrates Title IX month To its credit, the U.S. Department of Education is not celebrating homosexual pride month in the month of June. Instead, the Trump administration is recognizing June as “Title IX Month.” Title IX of the Education Amendments was signed into law by President Richard Nixon on June 23, 1972. It prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs. However, the Biden administration tried to inject transgender protections into the law. Under Trump's Education Department, the administration is promising to protect women's and girls' sports from such transgender activism.  Muslim immigrant used flamethrower on peaceful pro-Israel group in CO An immigrant, motivated by anti-Semitic beliefs, has been accused of brutally attacking a peaceful pro-Israel group advocating for Israeli hostages held captive by the Muslim terrorist group known as Hamas, reports The Blaze. Mohamed Sabry Soliman, a 45-year-old Egyptian national in the United States despite reportedly overstaying his visa, is suspected of attacking a group of individuals participating in a walk in Boulder, Colorado at 2:00pm on June 1st. According to CNN, he allegedly used a makeshift flamethrower and Molotov cocktails to set people on fire at an event in support of hostages in Gaza as he yelled “Free Palestine.” He injured at least 12 people. The victims ranged in age from 52 to 88 years old, including a Holocaust survivor. The U.S. Attorney General's office has charged Soliman with a hate crime. The attack targeted the “Run for Their Lives” group, a grassroots organization that gathered on Pearl Street on Sunday evening to support the release of the hostages captured by the terrorist group in October 2023. According to the FBI, the Jewish group chapter gathers weekly. Maya Bajayo is the organizer of the “Run for Their Lives” group. BAJAYO: “We're here only to raise awareness for the hostages. It makes it even more scary for us that it could have been us.” Amazingly, Bajayo, who has been leading the walk for 83 Sundays straight, refuses to stop walking despite the threat of violence. She explained why to Channel 9 News. BAJAYO: “To show people that we're still here, the problem hasn't been solved, and the hostages need to be released. We're just not going to give up on them.” Oklahoma Governor: "Life begins at conception.” During June, Oklahoma is celebrating  a “Month for Life.” Republican Governor Kevin Stitt signed the proclamation Monday. He wrote on X, “Life begins at conception. We're committed to supporting moms every step. And God has a plan for every life.” The proclamation encouraged citizens to join the Oklahoma March for Life on Saturday, June 7. 10th anniversary of Supreme Court's pro-homosexual marriage ruling The U.S. Supreme Court handed down its Obergefell v. Hodges decision 10 years ago on June 26, 2015. The infamous ruling requires states to recognize same-sex unions as marriages.  A new survey from Gallup found that 68% of U.S. adults support faux same-sex marriage, up from 60% in 2015. However, that support has plateaued over the last five years.  No one shared why they like The Worldview in 5 Minutes And finally, I would love to know why you enjoy listening to The Worldview in 5 Minutes.  Do you like the variety of stories, the reports on the persecuted church, the Christian worldview, the 2 Scriptures, the soundbites, the links to additional information in our transcript, or the occasional uplifting, positive story?  Email me 2-6 sentences and include your name, city, and state.  Surprisingly, I did not get a single email on Tuesday despite the fact that tens of thousands of people listen to the newscast or read the transcript.  Send your email to Adam@TheWorldview.com. 18 listeners gave $4,202 to fund The Worldview newscast Toward this week's $30,875 goal to fund one-fourth of The Worldview newscast budget by this Friday, June 6th, 18 listeners stepped up to the plate.  Our thanks to Joshua in Bolivar, Missouri who gave $30 as well as Rachelle in Longview, Washington, Margaret in White Salmon, Washington, Jeremy in Swansea, Wales in the United Kingdom, and Karena in Eugene, Oregon – each of whom gave $50. We appreciate Dick in Hoyt, Kansas, Hannah in San Jose, California, David in Plano, Texas, Adam in Gile, Wisconsin, and David in Crestview, Florida – each of whom gave $100. We're grateful to God for Hannah in Green Valley, Arizona who gave $132,Genevieve in Wheat Ridge, Colorado who pledged $20/month for 12 months for a gift of $240, Kristen in Columbia Falls, Montana who gave $250, and Luis and Patricia in Kyle, Texas who pledged $25/month for 12 months for a gift of $300. And we appreciate the generosity of Steven in Coatesville, Pennsylvania who gave $350, James in Cardiff, Wales in the United Kingdom who pledged $50/month for 12 months for a gift of $600, Patricia in  Winfield, Iowa who gave $700, and Larry and Sue in Crooked Creek , Alberta, Canada who pledged $75/month for 12 months for a gift of $900. Those 18 listeners gave a total of $4,202. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please.  (Drum toll sound effect) $4,932 (People clapping sound effect)  That means by this Friday, we still need to raise $26,873. We missed our goal of 20 donors on Tuesday by only 2 donors.  In order to hit our goal by this Friday, June 6th, we need to raise $8,957 on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.   Toward that end, I wonder if there might be 4 Worldview listeners who could give $1,000.  Another 8 who would pledge $50/month. And 12 more who would pledge $25/month.  That would enable us to raise $11,800 on Wednesday. Maybe we can hit 20 donors today.

Title IX prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any federally funded education program or activity.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

“Title IX says no person shall be discriminated against on the basis of sex…as measured three different ways, one is equal opportunities to participate, two is equal scholarship dollars between men and women, and third is, they've got to get treated the same way.” Guest Bio: Life-long advocate for access and equality in athletics, internationally recognized legal expert on sports issues, scholar and author Nancy Hogshead has a commitment to equality, using sport as a vehicle for social change.  As one of the foremost exponents for gender equity, she advocates for access and equality in sports participation. Legal issues include sexual harassment, sexual abuse and assault, employment, pregnancy, and legal enforcement under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. Her book, co-authored with Andrew Zimbalist, Equal Play, Title IX and Social Change, has received acclaim since its release by Temple University Press. She was the lead author of Pregnant and Parenting Student-Athletes; Resources and Model Policies, published by the NCAA, and her book chapter, The Ethics of Title IX and Gender Equity for Coaches, appears in The Ethics of Coaching Sports; Moral, Social and Legal Issues, edited by Robert L.

She serves as an expert witness in Title IX cases and has written amicus briefs representing athletic organizations in precedent-setting litigation. From 2003 – 2012 she was the Co-Chair of the American Bar Association Committee on the Rights of Women. She was elected to the editorial board of the Journal of Intercollegiate Sport.  Sports Illustrated magazine listed her as one of the most influential people in the history of Title IX. Hogshead practiced law at the law firm of Holland & Knight, in both their litigation and public law departments. She was a tenured Professor of Law at the Florida Coastal School of Law, where she taught Torts, Sports Law and Gender Equity in Athletics courses for twelve years. Hogshead-Makar had a 30 year history with the Women's Sports Foundation, starting as a college intern, becoming the third President from 1992-94, it's the legal advisor from 2003-10, and serving as a consultant as the Senior Director of Advocacy until 2014.  She earned her law degree from Georgetown University Law Center and is an honors graduate of Duke University.

Abby Cross and her husband went to the leadership of their daughter's Bridgeport, West Virginia, middle school with concerns over a biological male competing alongside their daughter in athletics.“Nothing changed” for their daughter following the conversation, Cross says. Adaleia Cross, her mom says, has always loved sports and was excited to be a part of her middle-school track and field team. But with a biological male competing alongside her, Adaleia not only began losing opportunities to compete because of the male student outperforming her, but also was subject to harassment at the hands of the student—even sexual harassment. “To make matters worse and more insulting,” her mother explained that “besides the sexual harassment, this student was saying things like, ‘You have more testosterone than I do, and I'm still beating you,' which is just incredibly insulting.” Unfortunately, Adaleia is a part of an ever-growing group of young women who have lost out on sports opportunities because of boys and men entering girls' and women's sports, who have been subjected to having to share locker rooms with males, and have even facied harassment from males who identify as females.Now, women across the nation are facing a similar risk thanks to a Biden administration rule change to Title IX set to take effect Aug. 1. The Biden administration has rewritten the definition of sex in Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 to include gender identity and sexual orientation. The change swings the door wide open for males to enter female-only spaces and compete in girls' and women's sports. A number of lawsuits have been filed since the Biden administration officially announced the new rule, including one by the conservative legal nonprofit Alliance Defending Freedom. Alliance Defending Freedom is working to block the Title IX rule change on behalf of women and girls such as Adaleia Cross, and ADF attorney Rachel Rouleau says she is “very hopeful that this rule will be stayed and won't go into effect on [Aug. 1], at least while the litigation in these cases goes on.” Abby Cross and Rouleau join “The Daily Signal Podcast” to share Adaleia's story and to discuss where the lawsuits to stop the Title IX rule change stand.

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is a federal law that prohibits sex-based discrimination in schools. It is currently under attack by the Biden Administration, who wants to remove protections for biological women in sports and other opportunities. Sarah Parshall Perry explains why this is happening and what we can expect in the future. —Have thoughts?

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit smokeempodcast.substack.comTitle IX started as a modest part of the Education Amendments of 1972; it was the part that prohibited sex-based discrimination in education programs. In the 50+ years since, it's become shorthand for many things: Women in sports, a sexual reckoning, a cultural over-correction, a legal shitshow. What no one ever seems to ask is: Why are colleges adjudicating sexual matters between students anyway?Our guest KC Johnson, a tenured professor at Brooklyn College, began his Title IX education back in 2006, when the Duke lacrosse team was accused of rape. The case became a national scandal, pulling in faculty, administration, lawyers, and the government, with the accused students at the center, though they were eventually exonerated. It's a case Nancy and Sarah discussed way back in episode 10 (“Fabulists!”), and one Johnson spent years investigating and eventually co-authored a book about.Since then, Johnson has become the go-to guy on this topic. Who better to explain the new Title IX guidelines from Biden? Don't forget: Biden is the original crusader behind Title IX's more recent iteration as a way to address campus sexual assault.

//The Wire//1730Z April 20, 2024////ROUTINE////BLUF: AUSTRALIA CRACKS DOWN ON DISSENT SPEECH REGARDING STABBING ATTACKS. FIRE INCIDENTS CONTINUE IN CANADA.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Canada: A fire broke out in the control tower of the old Goose Bay Airport in Newfoundland and Labrador. Evacuations were ordered as the fire approached nearby storage facilities housing explosive materials. The cause of the fire has not been publicly released.Australia: Following the stabbing attacks in Sydney, several crackdowns have been reported, including raiding the homes of those who demonstrated outside the Christ the Good Shepherd Church where Bishop Mar Mari was stabbed a few days ago. Additionally, authorities have been instrumental in censorship and the control of information regarding recent events, with NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb deliberately stating “police will be the source of truth”.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. – Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 has been altered significantly, removing almost all of the former protections for women under this law. This highly controversial move means that there will be no separation of any kind between men and women within the context of the educational system, including restroom and locker room use, sporting events, scholarships, etc. This move also mandates the use of pronouns on a federal level, treating a pronoun violation with the same legal severity as harassment allegations. AC: Once the general public has time to read through the 1,500+ pages of changes, the true realization of how significant this action is may become apparent. Of note, this radical change of existing code does not apply to just universities, this applies to all K-12 educational institutions as well as Headstart programs that receive federal funding. Women who don't approve of men being in their locker rooms can now be criminally charged with harassment in every single public educational institution in the United States. Additionally, based on recent court cases, even private schools may be subject to Title IX regulations in the event that a school receives a tax benefit, though more legal precedence is needed.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: As expected in most western societies, citizens now have to consider the follow-on effects of traumatic incidents. Citizens have to expect both deliberate attacks by terror groups, and the subsequent targeting by authorities that cracks down on the victims of such crimes who are outraged by terrorism, instead of the perpetrators. Somehow, even in 2024, this is a controversial idea, but true nonetheless, and an unfortunate planning factor for populations post-incident. Being aware of the potential for horrific incidents is important enough, but equally important is being aware of the atmospherics post-incident, and the potential for authorities to take advantage of the crisis to make good on long-standing desires to implement more strict policies.Analyst: S2A1//END REPORT//

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 applies to educational institutions at all levels that receive federal financial assistance from the Department of Education. As such, it has traditionally not applied to private schools that do not accept government funding, generally doled out in the form of federal grants or loans. Two recent cases however (Buettner-Hartsoe v. Baltimore Lutheran High School Association & Chen et al. g. Hillsdale College) have presented a novel theory that would classify an institution's tax-exempt status as federal financial assistance, leaving even those private schools who have sought to remain independent from governmental regulation subject to Title IX. This would affect schools at all levels, as Buettner-Hartsoe concerns a secondary school serving grades 6-12 and Chen et al. is challenging Hillsdale College's actions.Join us for a litigation update on these two cases featuring Mary Margaret Beecher of Napa Legal Institute, which filed an amicus brief in Buettner-Hartsoe.Featuring:--Mary Margaret Beecher, Vice President and Executive Director, Napa Legal Institute--(Moderator) Amanda Salz, Associate, Morgan, Lewis, & Bockius LLP

The year 1972 is often hailed as an inflection point in the evolution of women's rights. Congress passed Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, a law that outlawed sex-based discrimination in education. Many Americans celebrate Title IX for having ushered in an era of expanded opportunity for women's athletics; yet fifty years after its passage, sex-based inequalities in college athletics remain the reality. James N. Druckman and Elizabeth A. Sharrow's book Equality Unfulfilled: How Title IX's Policy Design Undermines Change to College Sports (Cambridge UP, 2023) explains why.  The book identifies institutional roadblocks - including sex-based segregation, androcentric organizational cultures, and overbearing market incentives - that undermine efforts to achieve systemic change. Drawing on surveys with student-athletes, athletic administrators, college coaches, members of the public, and fans of college sports, it highlights how institutions shape attitudes toward gender equity policy. It offers novel lessons not only for those interested in college sports but for everyone seeking to understand the barriers that any marginalized group faces in their quest for equality.

Congress passed Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, a law that outlawed sex-based discrimination in education. Many Americans celebrate Title IX for having ushered in an era of expanded opportunity for women's athletics; yet fifty years after its passage, sex-based inequalities in college athletics remain the reality. James N. Druckman and Elizabeth A. Sharrow's book Equality Unfulfilled: How Title IX's Policy Design Undermines Change to College Sports (Cambridge UP, 2023) explains why.  The book identifies institutional roadblocks - including sex-based segregation, androcentric organizational cultures, and overbearing market incentives - that undermine efforts to achieve systemic change. Drawing on surveys with student-athletes, athletic administrators, college coaches, members of the public, and fans of college sports, it highlights how institutions shape attitudes toward gender equity policy. It offers novel lessons not only for those interested in college sports but for everyone seeking to understand the barriers that any marginalized group faces in their quest for equality.

The fight for women's equality is well-documented. The 20th and 21st centuries witnessed an exponential improvement in women's rights globally, from the right to vote to Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 to the allowance for women in combat roles in the military. But what does the Bible say? How does God view the role of women in His mission to save and transform the world?THE BIG IDEA: Women play a central role in the mission of God.

The landmark law, Title IX, paved the way for gender equity in higher education, notably increasing the participation of girls and women in athletics. As athletic programs are considered educational programs and activities, the penalty for non-compliance with Title IX is the loss of federal funding for an institution. While it has been 50 years since the introduction of Title IX and girls and women have made progress in equity, representation, and access to athletics, barriers continue to exist.

Title IX Changes Threaten Due Process The U.S. Department of Education's proposed changes to Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 would severely curtail due process protections in Title IX proceedings as well as violate First Amendment rights to free speech, expression, association, and practice of religion. Comments filed by NCLA argue that assault and sexual harassment/discrimination adjudications should be eliminated entirely from campuses and moved into the criminal justice or civil justice system. If, however, they are going to be dealt with on campuses, then such adjudications must protect the due process rights of both the accuser and the accused. Vec discusses NCLA's comments on the Dept. of Education's proposed Title IX regulation with NCLA Litigation Counsel Jenin Younes. Compensation for Property Owners Harmed by Eviction Moratorium NCLA filed an amicus brief in Darby Development Company, Inc., et al. v. United States in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. In this case, dozens of rental property owners assert that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Eviction Moratorium effected either a compensable taking or an illegal exaction under the Fifth Amendment.

Transcription:Intro  00:03Welcome to Changing the Rules, a weekly podcast about people who are living their best lives and advice on how you can achieve that too. Join us with your lively host, Ray Lowe, better known as the luckiest guy in the world.Ray Loewe00:19Good morning everybody, and welcome to our brand new studios in Willow Street, Pennsylvania. And we have our super engineer today, Steve Wright. And I like it when Steve is on the board, because he's a fellow swimmer, and he somehow boosts my energy level when he does this stuff. So we're gonna get a super performance, and his job is to make us sound good at the end. And I want to remind everybody that the purpose of our broadcast is we talk to one of the luckiest people in the world each week. And the luckiest people in the world are those people who take control of their lives and take control of the direction and live their lives under their own terms. And we call the show Changing the Rules. And you know, throughout our lives, we're given all of these rules by everybody else. Our parents give us rules, the school gives us rules, the government gives us rules. You know, everybody is out there telling us what we're supposed to do and what we're not supposed to do. And I think it was Steve Jobs, the Apple guy, who came in and said, you know, when you're living your life under somebody else's rules, you're not living your life, you're living somebody else's. So we have a gentleman today who certainly is one of the luckiest people in the world. And you're going to find out that the luckiest people in the world are also the most interesting people in the world. And Ying Wushanley, and what a great name. And you're gonna get the history of his name, too, as part of the process over here. And I met Ying in a swimming pool. He's a fellow competitive swimmer, he's a very, very good master swimmer. And we met him not too long ago when we were trying to qualify for next year's Senior Games. And I found out that Ying is recently retired as a full professor from Millersville College and he is embarking in the next third of his life. And he's going to be doing some exciting things, but he's done some really exciting things in the past. Ying has been an expert on the history of sports and his journey is an incredible one. Ying, welcome to Changing the Rules. Let's start with your expertise, is that alright with you?Ying Wushanley02:46Sure, yeah. Well, thanks for having me on the program. My expertise, I'm a trained sport historian. Most people have never heard of a historian who is focused on sports, but there are many out there.Ray Loewe03:08Well, let me start with a couple of specific questions. You know, one of the things that we deal with all the time in sports are the Olympics. Okay. And we had a conversation earlier and we were talking, I was under the impression that the Olympics have changed. That we went from being an amateur sport group over here to very much today professionals taking over the sports and I found out that's not true, is it?Ying Wushanley03:37Not in ancient time, the ancient games were the athletes were what we term as true professionals because they do their best and they will make a good living based on their athletic prowess.Ray Loewe03:57So the ancient Olympians were paid in fact?Ying Wushanley04:00Yes, paid big time. Yeah, like tons of olive oil, or free meals and they could dine everywhere. That's, that's pay. Well, they may not have gotten the currency also, but the name recognition will enable them to live a very wealthy life.Ray Loewe04:23And that has gone on for almost forever, right? When we started the modern Olympics, when did the modern Olympics start?Ying Wushanley04:31The game, the first game actually took place in 1896. But in 1894 the International Olympic Committee was formed. At the time, there was an idea of amateurs because it was supposedly based on the ancient idea of amateurs, even though in reality there wasn't such a thing. But it was based on a bunch of social elite who wanted to create this upper-class idea of amateurs. Meaning you don't play for money, you play for the love of sports.Ray Loewe05:11But the only way they could do that is because they were part of the wealthy elite, and they had the money to be able to train and do whatever. Ying Wushanley05:16Yeah, who can afford to be a very good amateur athlete if you don't have money?Ray Loewe05:20Okay, so now we can understand where we've gone all of these years. And today, it's very much not the amateur that rules the Olympics. Ying Wushanley05:30No, because the amateurs won't be good enough to compete there.Ray Loewe05:34Okay. So, while we're on the subject of the Olympics, I often wondered, why would any city in their right mind want to sponsor the Olympics? I mean, do they make money doing these things?Ying Wushanley05:47Well, it's for recognition. Politicians would like to bring attention to their corner of the world, especially say if you're from Brazil, from Australia, and how do you bring people to your corner of the world? So using Olympic Games as a major attraction, of course, certain cities have benefited financially, but many cities don't. And that is why today because the bidding is so expensive, many cities decided to quit because after all if you have more than 5 or 10 cities bid, only one will be chosen. And the preparation will cost so much money. And eventually, you're still not chosen and you've wasted a lot of money. Even the chosen ones, not too many of them make a big profit. But on the other hand, it's hard to measure because the legacy will be there, you had  the honor to host the Olympic Games. Ray Loewe06:57So national pride comes into play. Okay, so that gets me into the next question. And again, I had the ability to talk to you about some of these. So I sound smarter, knowing the right questions than I actually am. But, let's talk about national anthems and sports and give us a little insight into the importance of national anthems. You know, we've all gone through this change and what's going on where athletes now rebel against national anthems? But there's a history here and a tradition. So, why do we play national anthems? What goes on, what's the importance of all of these things? Ying Wushanley07:42Well, it started as an accidental event, I think, during the 1918 World Series of baseball, and after the seventh inning stretch that the band, they played some music, including the Star Spangled Banner, which got spectators excited. And the manager or whoever the organizer was figured out for the rest of the series, we're going to start playing that music to get the fans involved. And that was the beginning of that tradition. And traditions, sometimes they're welcome, sometimes not, including many of the baseball franchise owners, they decided, you know, we're here to play sports. Why do we have to play music? You know, it makes sense at the championship to play it, make it more formal and more,  respectful. But for every game to play this does not seem right. Well, you know, the baseball history as well as American sports history always goes along with the time. And oftentimes we have nations in war and patriotism plays very important role when you are in the war. And somehow we always need patriotism, patriotism would be something that the national anthem will symbolize and epitomize our national unity. So, that became a tradition first in baseball, then in other sports. But for many, many decades, it wasn't that big a deal until, I think more recently, the Persian Gulf War, the Desert Storm operation in 1991, then of course, the 911. 911 after 2001. With artists like Whitney Houston doing a rendition of the national anthem, it became so popular at the time, it was ranked in the top 20, and the second time in the top 10 of the most popular charts. So, it's very common then from an outsider's point of view, it seemed to be very strange because we can understand playing the national anthem at the Olympic Games, when you play against Italy, against France, against Japan. So, both team's national anthems will be played. But here in this country, every sporting event, even at high school level, or even, you know, little league baseball, there's always the national anthem. And oftentimes the media likes to portray it as every time we play sports, we honor the people who protect our freedom because we have the privilege to enjoy the freedom we can play sports. Some of my students say that other countries don't have this freedom, which is quite naive. Ray Loewe11:04Yeah. Wow. I mean, you know, you don't think about these things. And I guess this is the advantage of being able to study sports and of being a sports historian. I'm gonna want to talk quite a bit about this Title 9, because I know that you spend a lot of time writing about that. But before we do that, let's backtrack and let's talk a little bit about your journey here, which I think is an extraordinary one. So you grew up not in the United States, you grew up where?Ying Wushanley11:35In China, in the People's Republic of China, the mainland China. There's another China called the Republic of China, but the Chinese government, Mainland China does not recognize it. That's why there was a big fuss about Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan recently, because communists believe it's part of mainland China, even though in reality it isn't.Ray Loewe12:04So you grew up being raised by two women, is that correct?Ying Wushanley12:10That's right, mainly because my father was a high military officer, officially. And in the nationalists coming down, you know, you heard of Chiang Kai-shek, who was the head of the nationalists before 1949, when the Chinese Communist took over China, the mainland, so the nationalists fled to Taiwan, which is where they still are until today.Ray Loewe12:42Okay, and so your father basically was put in jail because he was on the wrong side?Ying Wushanley12:48Yeah, more than 32 years altogether from 1950 to 1985.Ray Loewe12:56Wow. Okay. And you were raised by two women, and what was the effect that they had on your life? I mean, here you are, you're very much into sports, you're very much into things that you would think Dad would do, right?Ying Wushanley13:10Yeah, that's right. Even though my dad was quite athletic, but my mother was much better athlete. I would say she is all an around athlete and in almost every sport, she could get her hands on. But she even flew glider in late 30s and early 40s, so at the time that Amelia Earhart was flying around the world.Ray Loewe13:36Okay, so you grew up, you went to college in Shanghai?Ying Wushanley13:42Yes, that was after the Cultural Revolution ended, from 1966 to 1976 under Mao Zedong. And there was no college in China for 10 years officially. Not the normal university. The university was running but the students were not academically selected. But Deng Xiaoping in 1977 revived higher education. So I, at the time I was working out of a state-run farm in the outskirts of Shanghai. So I had the opportunity to take the entrance exam and became the first  member of a first class of university students. I was playing soccer before I went to the farm, but because of my family's political background, I could not continue.Ray Loewe14:36Okay. So you when you got your degree, or what did you major in Shanghai?Ying Wushanley14:42I majored in physical education at the Shanghai Normal University and then after graduation, I started teaching as a physical education instructor at the Shanghai Foreign Language School. It's quite a prestigious school in Shanghai, in China today, it still is. And after six and a half years teaching there I came to the United States.Ray Loewe15:09All right, so what motivated you? You know, how did you get here? Ying Wushanley15:13Mostly I was trying to escape the political persecution directly or indirectly because of my family's background. And my brother, my older brother, was at the time the leader of the pro-democracy movement in China.Ray Loewe15:30Okay, well, we'll catch up with your brother in a minute. Okay, so you came here, and you went to the West Coast of the United States?Ying Wushanley15:38Right, I was admitted by three institutions. Washington State University, Chapel Hill in North Carolina, and Purdue. But the Washington State admission came first and I grabbed it right away. I didn't care which school I was going to, I'm leaving China. That was most important for me.Ray Loewe16:01Okay. And you were here, now your mother, your aunt, the rest of your family is still back in China at this point in time?Ying Wushanley16:08Yeah. That's right.Ray Loewe16:09All right. So here you are, you're on the West Coast and you picked a major, and what did you choose to major in to get your Master's degree?Ying Wushanley16:16Masters in physical education, the focus on sport administration at the time it was called.Ray Loewe16:22Okay. And you were saying you had a friend there that caused you to then move to Pennsylvania?Ying Wushanley16:28Pennsylvania, Penn State, I was admitted as a graduate doctorate candidate.Ray Loewe16:36And you came here and you're still in education, still in physical education to a large extent, but you're also majoring in sports history.Ying Wushanley16:46Yeah, the department is Exercise and Sport Sciences. But my focus was history of sport and physical education. Ray Loewe16:57Okay. So now you are a doctor. Dr. Wu at the time. Were you married at the time?Ying Wushanley17:05No. We were married in 93 when I was still at Penn State,Ray Loewe17:12Okay. Now, to show everybody what a renaissance man you are here and what an equal rights person you are here, let's talk about your name and talk about your bride and talk about what happened here.Ying Wushanley17:25My wife's name was Geraldine Shanley, my name was Ying Wu Woo when we met and before we got married, though when we got married as well. But we became naturalized and became American citizens in 1999 and my wife in 2000. And when we did the official paperwork and we had the right to choose, to decide our name, so we chose on these names. Actually, our first daughter was born with the name we decided so we created a new name, Wushanley. Shanley is Irish and from the county Leitrim, and Wu is a more common Chinese name.Ray Loewe18:16Okay, so how many Wuhanley's are there now? Ying Wushanley18:20Four.Ray Loewe18:20There are four of you in the whole world.Ying Wushanley18:22That's right. Yeah, my wife and me and our two daughters. Yeah.Ray Loewe18:27Okay. Well, this will explain to a large extent why you spent so much time talking about women's sports and Title Nine and, and getting into all of that stuff because we have with us a true Renaissance man here, ladies. I mean, you're gonna want to know this guy. But talk to us a little bit about Title Nine, what it did for women and what it didn't do for women.Ying Wushanley18:51Okay. Well, Title Nine we should know, this year is the 50th anniversary of the passage of Title Nine of the Education Amendments of their act in 1972. So it's the 50th anniversary now. What Title Nine intended was to eliminate all kinds of the sex and discriminations in education activities where the institution received federal financial aid. So for example, Millersville University, not Millersville College anymore, receives any form of financial aid from the federal government, that law applies to Millersville. Basically, most universities and colleges in the country need to be in compliance. The intent of the Title was to change history in terms of opportunities previously and think about in your time even more that not too many women got the opportunity to go to law schools, to engineering schools, to medical schools. But nowadays, if you look at, it's almost half half, and that's the biggest intension. Now, most people think on Title Nine as related to athletics, so I will deal with athletics. Probably it wasn't even in the mind of the people who proposed that law, but it became manifested in athletics, because discrimination in terms of ability, you know, athletic sports is most reflective in terms of how one is discriminated. Well, we have separate men's and women's sports teams or competitions for good reason. Because physically or physiologically, there's a significant difference, you cannot compete together. If you put them together, then not too many women will make the men's team, at least as of now, because the ability. And that's why Title Nine affected college athletics the most. What did it do? It did a great thing to women's athletics because for example, the University of Maryland before Title Nine, the budget for athletics was like 99% went to men's and 1% went to women's if that much. Today, the budget probably is still not equal, but much closer. The program for example, at Millersville, we have probably 21 or 22 teams, and 12 - 13 - 14 are women's teams, for the reason of having equal or close to proportionally the ratio that represents the student body because Millersville is probably 53% women. So the good thing it did is it increased the opportunity for women to compete in college sports. What it did in terms of what perceived as damage to women's control of intercollegiate athletics is because before title nine women had total control of their entire women's college sports. It was separate from the men's, men's under the NCAA, women's under another organization called the AIAW Association for Women's Intercollegiate Athletics.  And now, after Title Nine, the NCAA started to offer opportunities to both men and women because most institutions didn't want to have within Millersville, for example, have a separate department athletic department for men, for women have different rules. And the different rules is the problem. You can be sued for not treating your students equally. So after Title Nine, most universities will merge the departments, men's and women's, into one. And you can guess easily if those merge, who would be the athletic director most likely. Because men used to have this and just our society is still a male-dominated society, even today. But then women did not have control anymore, because, before Title Nine, they had total control, they don't have to deal with men, they will not allow men to come into coach or to be the director. Now, Title Nine says you cannot discriminate anyone. And the people often think, you cannot discriminate anyone, you cannot discriminate against a woman, you cannot discriminate against the man either.Ray Loewe23:56But it's changed the way sports laid out because today you see the big colleges, universities dominating women's sports. I remember days back when we had a little school right outside of Philadelphia over here that just absolutely dominated women's basketball.Ying Wushanley24:14Yeah, Arcadia University. Yeah, they won the first two national championships on the AIAW.Ray Loewe24:22So, you get some good things and you lose some good things.Ying Wushanley24:25Well, it depends on how you see it. The AIAW wants to have combined organization, have 50-50 share of the power. The NCAA being it's so dominant in terms of its tradition, power, and its financial resources, they wouldn't want to share. I know it's not right but it's also kind of logical and you can understand a big company merges with a small company and all of a sudden these two companies have to share exactly the resources, probably it won't happen.Ray Loewe25:02All right, unfortunately, we're getting near the end of our conversation here. And I want to get back to one more important thing in your life. I think what you've been able to show us to a large extent is, here you are, you're in China, a place that you want to get out to. You came to the United States, we can almost say you escaped, right? And, you built a life for yourself that's exciting, along things that were enjoyable to you and interesting. And if Ying can do this, the rest of us can do this, too. We just need to know where we want to go and what we want to do. But there's another element here that I want to make sure everybody knows about, and that's your brother. So, your brother stayed behind in China when you left? And what was he involved in and what happened to him?Ying Wushanley25:56Well, he was involved in the pro-democracy movement in China, started in the late 70s. And he became a leader once he got involved. So he's devoted to human rights and democracy in China. Of course, it wasn't easy. But he was detained, put into prison labor for four years from 1980 to 84. And I came to the States in 1988. At Washington State and Penn State, and then I started teaching at Ithaca College. And, you know, my mother died in 89 unfortunately. And my father was living with a relative after he was released for various circumstances. So my brother was the only one, the only person I really know, and I was concerned about his well-being. So I said, you can continue your pro-democracy movement. But I feel much more comfortable if you can come to a country where you have more freedom to do it. And so I don't have to have nightmares every night. So he agreed to come. So in the summer of 1994, just about when I was going to start at Ithaca College, he decided to come. I enrolled him in the English program for second language, foreign language at Penn State, then he hopped onto the plane, but did not arrive in JFK where the local media, or the Chinese media, was waiting for him because they knew he was coming. So he disappeared. And for 11 days, we didn't know his whereabouts. He did not hop onto the Korean airline where he was supposed to board. 11 days later, the Chinese authorities admitted they had him just for interrogation, didn't want to let him go, just because there are some unsorted issues. I started campaigning in the State College with my advisors, families, and friends, and it became an international campaign to rescue him. Eventually, the President of the United States at the time, Bill Clinton, and every senator was involved. Hundreds of representatives involved in terms of demanding, writing letters. Media like the BBC. Reuters News, New York Times, Philadelphia Inquirer, I remember all those media interviewed us reported. I made it big just because I know what happened in China for political prisoners, they can disappear and you never find out where they went. I wanted the world to know so that he wouldn't disappear. And that seemed to have worked and I was told indirectly that I should not continue this campaign because it wasn't good for the image of China. I said, all I want is for you to release him and I will stop my campaign. And 50 days later, they sent him onto a United Flight and told him never to go back to China again. And he hasn't.Ray Loewe29:27And he lives now, he's on the west coast in the United States? Ying Wushanley29:31Oakland. Yeah. Ray Loewe29:32And a happy ending.Ying Wushanley29:34Yeah, he's okay. He still lives happily there. Well, he lived in Ithica for a while, but after the first winter, he figured that's not what he liked. Because he had meetings in San Francisco, he liked the weather they had. So he likes comfort as well.Ray Loewe29:49Well, you know, thank you for being with us. You know, we're over our time limit so we're going to have to end this but again, Ying Wushanley, a Renaissance man, one of the few people you'll ever meet that combines names with his wife. And thanks for sharing the history of sport with us, and I can see why you get excited about it. And we'll continue to see you in the swimming pool. And just, you know, thanks again for being here.

The American Civil Liberties Union has filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma seeking to prevent the state's new public school bathroom law (SB 615) limiting bathroom access for transgender students from being enforced. The lawsuit (Bridge v. Oklahoma State Department of Education) asserts the new is unconstitutional and violates Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972.

The Biden administration is playing games with the definitions of sex and gender.President Joe Biden has proposed changing the definition of the word "sex" in Title IX, a portion of the Education Amendments of 1972 that prevents discrimination on the basis of sex within public education. Biden would redefine sex to include gender identity and sexual orientation.Under that proposed change, men who identify as women would be permitted to use women's restrooms and locker rooms at school and participate on women's sports teams.Fortunately, Americans have an opportunity to voice support or opposition to the proposed change. Individuals and organizations have until Sept. 12 to send a comment to the Federal Register explaining their position.The Department of Education is required to review and respond to every comment. So far, about 350,000 comments have been submitted.The rule change to Title IX will be delayed, or possibly halted, depending upon the number of public comments, Sarah Parshall Perry, a senior legal fellow at The Heritage Foundation, says. (The Daily Signal is Heritage's multimedia news organization.)Click here to learn more about leaving a comment on the Biden administration's rule change and to see helpful templates.On today's edition of "Problematic Women," we discuss what redefining sex within Title IX would mean for girls and women across the country.

Part of the Education Amendments of 1972, Title IX prohibits sex-based discrimination in any school or education program that receives funding from the federal government.  Five decades on, though, is it working?

The fight is not yet over for January Littlejohn, a mother who sued her 13-year-old daughter's school after teachers created a transgender support plan without her consent. The six-page transgender nonconforming support plan took away her ability to protect her daughter. Although the Florida Bill, Parental Rights in Education, strengthens parental rights by preventing teachers and school staffers from withholding information about gender issues from parents, this is still not the right time to sit back.Today, we are joined by the President, General Counsel, and Founder of Child and Parental Rights Campaign, Inc., Vernadette Broyles, and a mother and licensed mental health professional, January Littlejohn. They talk about how gender ideology almost destroyed January's family and how their fight for children and parents' rights is still on.Enjoy!In This Episode02:27 - Parental Rights: The story of January Littlejohn09:12 - How the school system is robbing parents of their ability to protect their children12:25 - The shocking truth about how school administrators disregard parental rights17:00 - How the school has socially and medically transitioned children21:12 - The campaign for child and parental rights23:42 - Suicide and gender transition30:03 - An overview of the campaign for child and parent rights36:41 - What the Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is all about46:47 - How parental rights become constitutionally protected57:09 - Supporting the rulemaking process for the child and parental rights campaignFavorite Quotes04:40 - "As a mental health professional, gender identity wasn't something I specialized in. Still, I was trained in what gender dysphoria was, and this wasn't registering with what I knew about trans identification and gender dysphoria." - January Littlejohn08:58 - "They're bringing her in here, talking to her about her sexual identification, something that should be the parents' problem. And the school has decided that they can raise your daughter better than you can." - Jim Larkin09:48 - "The transgender nonconforming support plan was a six-page document that took away our ability to protect her. They asked her questions that could have significantly impacted her safety and mental health, such as which restrooms she preferred to use and the sex she preferred to room with on overnight field trips. It asked our daughter what name and pronouns they should use at school when speaking to us, the parents. So essentially, everybody would know that our daughter was going by a different name and pronouns, except for us." - January Littlejohn11:48 - "Parental involvement is critical in the successful outcomes of children at school." - January Littlejohn17:52 - "The middle school socially transitioned my child.

But the proposed changes to Title IX will have sex include sexual orientation and gender identity. These changes WILL: - Allow biological males to participate in girls-only sports and school activities. - Make bathrooms, locker rooms, and overnight field trip housing available based solely on “gender identity,” not on someone's biological sex. - Apply sexual harassment rules to students and teachers who “misgender” another student or teacher. This means that if someone refers to someone by their biological sex (not the gender they identity as) or doesn't use the person's “preferred pronouns,” they will be punished for sexual harassment. - Encourage schools to hide a student's gender transition from their parents.

Women have always been perceived to be weaker and less physically capable than men and the freedom that today's children have has taken many years to achieve. Today on Hazard Girls we are joined by Emily's mom, Rosemarie Heldrich Kiser. Rosemarie was a female track runner in the 1960s; a time when women did not have a constitutional right to play sports in schools. Rosemarie shares what it was like to be a sportswoman during this time, how it felt to train in an all-male college team as a teenage girl, how she became a competitor, and her experience competing in the Olympic trials. We also delve into how her experience shaped how she views the world, the change she has observed in women's sports since then, and how you can continue your passion for sports throughout your life. Finally, she gives some advice to today's fortunate generation of sportswomen. We also note that on June 23rd, 2022 it was the 50th anniversary of Title 9: Federal civil rights law in the United States of America that was passed as part of the Education Amendments of 1972. It prohibits sex-based discrimination in any school or any other education program that receives funding from the federal government.To hear all this and more, tune in now!

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 fundamentally reshaped the country, prohibiting discrimination based on sex in any educational program or activity that receives federal funding. Once considered a feminist triumph, Title IX leveled the educational field for women, allowing them educational, athletic, and career opportunities never before possible. Best known for its applications to sports and sexual harassment, the law covers a wide range of American education at both the K-12 and secondary level.But on the 50th anniversary of Title IX, the Biden administration is poised to eviscerate long-standing protections for women and girls by expanding “sex” to include sexual orientation and gender identity. Schools would be forced to open housing, locker rooms, sports teams, admissions, and other sex-specific offerings to the opposite sex. And this is just one of the changes the Biden administration has proposed with its new rule.Join us as a panel of experts and advocates discusses how the gains of the women's movement and women's equality and opportunity are teetering on the brink of erasure, and hear strategies for fighting back.

Talking Title IX - Navia Penrod (UNF Softball 2016-19) June 23, 1972, Title IX was passed as a law as part of the Education Amendments of 1972. The law prohibits sex-based discrimination in any school or other education program that receives funding from the federal government.  Over the next few months, North Florida Athletics will feature former and current student-athletes, staff and coaches, discussing their careers and the role that women's sports have played in their lives.  In this edition, we spoke with one of the greatest to play for UNF softball, Navia Penrod. Penrod currently works as a special education teacher in the Atlanta, Georgia, area. While at North Florida, Penrod achieved five different career statistical records and was the conference's NCAA Woman of the Year nominee.  Growing up in Naples, Florida, Penrod was always involved in athletics, being signed up for soccer, ballet, softball and more. Being raised predominately by her grandparents, Penrod's pursuit of softball came even before elementary school.  “My grandfather got me involved in softball,” Penrod said. “He got my first glove for me and get me out in the yard throwing every day. He saw something in me and decided to sign me up for little league at six years old. From there, it was really a wrap, so I owe it all to him.” Growing up in Naples, Fla., Penrod's talent pushed her to have to look harder and harder for the right fit as she pursued travel softball. She tried out for teams in Tampa, Fort Lauderdale and Miami.  Penrod recalls having to drive multiple hours for practices as she found her niche in the sport of softball.  “As a child, you don't see how crazy that is,” Penrod said. “But, my grandparents drove me to and from practices between their responsibilities.” The sacrifice was worth it. Penrod knew it was her passion to continue playing past high school.  “Watching it [softball] on TV and seeing it, I knew I wanted to do that [play Division I softball],” Penrod said. “I told my grandparents every day and said, that's what I want to do.” Penrod recalls Jacksonville, Fla., native and Florida Gators softball great, Michelle Moultrie, as one of her biggest inspirations growing up.  “The person I was inspired the most by was Michelle Moultrie,” Penrod said. “Her story as a walk-on, how good she got, how hard she worked and representation of an African-American in the sport; I wanted to do everything she did.” As college approached, North Florida emerged as a favorite for Penrod, being enthralled by the special education program, the campus and the influence of head coach Marcie Higgs.  The fit became apparent with her illustrious career as she was a two-time conference scholar-athlete of the year, three-time first team all-league pick, NFCA All-Region selection and career record holder in career batting average at a staggering .404. She also set program records in: On-base percentage (.451) At-bats (705) Hits (285) Stolen bases (83) Double plays turned (39) After graduating, Penrod entered the working world as a special education teacher in the Atlanta, Ga., area where she has grown quite the fan base.  “My students are hilarious,” Penrod said. “For some reason they googled me and found UNF softball. They are so funny. They come up to me with chrome books and find pictures of me playing and think it's the coolest thing. Because of me, they want to play sports, they want to play baseball and softball during recess. That's fun to see. “ This past month, the viewership of the NCAA Division I Women's College World Series, and postseason as a whole, was at an all-time high. All NCAA Regionals and Super Regionals were broadcasted on ESPN+ or a linear network. The WCWS Championship Series between Oklahoma and Texas brought in an average of 1.6 million viewers.  “It's changed [coverage] tremendously,” Penrod said. “When I was younger, I only remember seeing the big games, the championship games.” “I think a key driver [of growth] is just how amazing the sport is and people realizing that we need positive role models for women out there and that representation matters,” Penrod said. Undoubtedly, women's collegiate softball is one of the fastest growing sports in the NCAA.  “I think exposure and representation needs to continue to grow,” Penrod said. “I would like to see more games, more mid-major games and low-major games covered. I think representation in advertisements and sponsorships for women in sports is important in terms of growth.”

Penrod knew it was her passion to continue playing past high school.  “Watching it [softball] on TV and seeing it, I knew I wanted to do that [play Division I softball],” Penrod said. “I told my grandparents every day and said, that's what I want to do.” Penrod recalls Jacksonville, Fla., native and Florida Gators softball great, Michelle Moultrie, as one of her biggest inspirations growing up.  “The person I was inspired the most by was Michelle Moultrie,” Penrod said. “Her story as a walk-on, how good she got, how hard she worked and representation of an African-American in the sport; I wanted to do everything she did.” As college approached, North Florida emerged as a favorite for Penrod, being enthralled by the special education program, the campus and the influence of head coach Marcie Higgs.  The fit became apparent with her illustrious career as she was a two-time conference scholar-athlete of the year, three-time first team all-league pick, NFCA All-Region selection and career record holder in career batting average at a staggering .404. She also set program records in: On-base percentage (.451) At-bats (705) Hits (285) Stolen bases (83) Double plays turned (39) After graduating, Penrod entered the working world as a special education teacher in the Atlanta, Ga., area where she has grown quite the fan base.  “My students are hilarious,” Penrod said. “For some reason they googled me and found UNF softball. They are so funny. They come up to me with chrome books and find pictures of me playing and think it's the coolest thing. Because of me, they want to play sports, they want to play baseball and softball during recess. That's fun to see. “ This past month, the viewership of the NCAA Division I Women's College World Series, and postseason as a whole, was at an all-time high. All NCAA Regionals and Super Regionals were broadcasted on ESPN+ or a linear network. The WCWS Championship Series between Oklahoma and Texas brought in an average of 1.6 million viewers.  “It's changed [coverage] tremendously,” Penrod said. “When I was younger, I only remember seeing the big games, the championship games.” “I think a key driver [of growth] is just how amazing the sport is and people realizing that we need positive role models for women out there and that representation matters,” Penrod said. Undoubtedly, women's collegiate softball is one of the fastest growing sports in the NCAA.  “I think exposure and representation needs to continue to grow,” Penrod said. “I would like to see more games, more mid-major games and low-major games covered. I think representation in advertisements and sponsorships for women in sports is important in terms of growth.”  

In this episode, Jessica Luther, Brenda Elsey and Lindsay Gibbs breakdown the impacts of Title IX as the historic legislation turns 50. But first, they talk about their summer vacation plans. Then, they talk about how the passing of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 by Congress has impacted women's sports and educational opportunities for the last 50 years. They discuss how the NCAA fought and still fights the implementation of Title IX, the ways the rule impacts athletes and coaches according to their race and gender as well as how the amendment plays out regarding on-campus sexual violence. Following this discussion, you'll hear a preview of Brenda's interview with Bonnie Morris on her book about Title IX called What's the Score? Then, they'll burn the worst of sports this week on the Burn Pile. Next, they celebrate those changing sports for the better like Torchbearer of the Week, the U18 Canada Women's Hockey Team. They wrap up the show with What's Good and What We're Watching in sports this week. This episode was produced by Tressa Versteeg. Shelby Weldon is our social media and website specialist.

Welcome back to the Bill Bradley Collective, where we begin to tie the bow on this season celebrating women in sports with a conversation about Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. We are mere days from the 50th anniversary of Title IX being signed into law by President Richard Nixon, and it is likely no piece of legislation has had a greater, more positive impact on women's sports. But this act was not conceived at the time with that effect in mind. Your hosts dive into the history of this law, enacted in the moment as an amendment to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to address sex-based discrimination in higher education. We touch on the architects of this legislation, specifically Senator Birch Bayh and Congresswoman Patsy Mink; how interpretation of the bill has evolved over the presidential administrations since; and the tremendous impact it has had on female sports, how we've come to consume female sports', the handling of sexual assault cases at the collegiate level and what the future holds in the representative growth of women in sport and the enduring legacy of Title IX. But first a rant or three, as Zak censures the sentiments of disgraced Washington Commanders' DC Jack Del Rio that likened the January 6th U.S. Capitol attack to a “dust-up” whilst trying to equate said insurrection to the George Floyd protests of 2020; Ed weighs in on the NFL's abhorrent handling of Deshaun Watson's countless sexual Improprieties in light of news linking him to *66* individual massage therapists over 17 months; and finally Andrew leads us into what will be a big part of both our next season focus and live opener with a look at the golfing landscape following the Saudi-funded LIV golf tour's debut event.

Life on the court as a woman is like.. Title IX is a federal civil rights law in the United States of America that was passed as part of the Education Amendments of 1972. It prohibits sex-based discrimination in any school or any other education program that receives funding from the federal government.  The goal is not to keep beating up the guys to make "the game" fair. But to keep going and compete against yourself. Even when others don't value you, you value YOU. Fun Fact: Women's sport receives only 0.5% of the sports world's total sponsorship income (men get 62.1%) "Don't quit.. keep showing up because it's hard to stop someone who keeps showing up!" - the Guest

WASHINGTON, May 5, 2022 – The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service announced today that it will interpret the prohibition on discrimination based on sex found in Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, and in the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 (encompassing the Supplemental Read More Shared by United Resource Connection May 6, 2022

Title IX is a federal law that was part of the Education Amendments of 1972. While Title IX is centered around prohibiting sex-based discrimination at educational institutions that receive federal financial assistance, it has undergone many regulatory changes throughout the years. In 2020, the Trump administration made a rule change to Title IX, which brought changes to the enforcement of Title IX at higher education institutions. It is widely anticipated that the Biden-Harris administration will announce proposed rule changes to Title IX in 2022. Amber Grove discusses the importance of Title IX and what a proposed change to Title IX from the Biden-Harris administration might look like in 2022. Amber Grove, an adjunct faculty member and the Director of Title IX and Clery Compliance at the University of North Carolina Wilmington spoke to On Campus with CITI Program about the overlap between Title IX and the Clery Act. Amber has served in her role at University of North Carolina Wilmington since January 2016. She initially got her start in higher education in residence life at Duquesne University. In her role as resident director, Amber became involved in Title IX investigations, which transitioned her focus in the field to Title IX. She went on to serve as the Director of Student Engagement and Responsibility at Bethany College, where she oversaw conduct and served as Title IX coordinator.Learn more about CITI Program: https://about.citiprogram.org/

This year marks the 50th anniversary of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972  - the federal civil rights law prohibiting sex-based discrimination in any educational institution that receives federal funding, and giving women the equal opportunity to play sports. Last month, U.S. women soccer players won a $24 million lawsuit against the U.S. Soccer Federation over unequal pay with men's team players, making the historical leap in highlighting the civil rights journey of women across the sports and cultural landscape. But inequity in women's sports goes beyond pay. It also includes access to facilities, fair media coverage, and resources.  Today, we discuss what equity should look like in sports and why it's important. We also review how Brittney Griner's detention in Russia again exposes the male-female gap in sports, putting an even bigger spotlight on the inequities that exist between the top male and female athletes in the United States. Guests: Louise Radnofsky Sports Reporter for the Wall Street Journal Carol Stiff Women's Basketball Hall of Famer Former VP of Programming at ESPN Chairperson of the Women's Sports Network Advisory Board Congresswoman Sheila Jackson - Lee United States Representative for District 18, Texas Town Square with Ernie Manouse is a gathering space for the community to come together and discuss the day's most important and pressing issues. Audio from today's show will be available after 5 p.m. CT. We also offer a free podcast here, on iTunes, and other apps.

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 supplemented Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to include, in addition to barring discrimination on the ground of race, color, or national origin, sex as a protected class in federally funded education programs or activities. The purpose of enacting Title IX was to ensure that everyone, regardless of sex, would enjoy a discrimination-free educational experience.In the years since their enactment, observers have accused colleges and universities of violating Titles VI and IX in various ways. Many Title IX concerns have involved single-sex, female-only programs, scholarships, awards, fellowships, camps, clubs, etc. Others have involved single-sex, male-only programs. And recently, programs or scholarships for BIPOC-only or people of color have invoked Title VI concerns. One such observer of these potential civil rights violations is professor emeritus of economics at the University of Michigan, Mark Perry.Over the last three years, Professor Perry has identified more than 1,200 Title IX and Title VI alleged violations and has filed complaints with the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) against nearly 400 colleges and universities which have resulted in nearly 200 federal investigations and more than 100 resolutions, mostly in his favor.However, after years of this work, Professor Perry announced recently that he has noticed what he describes as a "significant departure from past practices" in what OCR now requires of Title VI and Title IX complaints. Professor Perry joined Devon Westhill to provide an update on his civil rights advocacy and what he views as "troubling signs" at the Biden-Cardona-Lhamon OCR for a discrimination-free educational experience for all.Featuring:- Mark Perry, Senior Fellow, American Enterprise Institute- [Moderator] Devon Westhill, President and General Counsel, Center for Equal OpportunityVisit our website – www.RegProject.org – to learn more, view all of our content, and connect with us on social media.

Title IX is a federal civil law that prohibits anyone in an educational institution from discriminating based on sex. The law was passed as part of the Education Amendments of 1972, and every educational program that operates on the federal government's funds is obligated to follow this law. KJK Student and Athlete Defense handles various Title IX cases and has helped hundreds of students and professors fight discrimination and false allegations against them. They closely monitor updates in this field and ensure that they understand and are on top of all details, whether already implemented or planned for the future.Every year, there are changes in all fields of law, and Title IX is no different. KJK Student and Athlete Defense is following the recent expected changes to the regulations and wrote a detailed review of Biden's executive orders in March 2021 and how they would impact cases moving forward.

In a recent essay, Shep Melnick, a distinguished scholar of American politics at Boston College, writes: Few federal laws have achieved their initial objective more completely than Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. Yet today Title IX is more controversial than ever before. The story of its evolution is a cautionary tale about how good intentions and broadly shared goals can become distorted over time by aggressive cultural combat, and how hard it can be to reverse the damage. In this Conversation, and expounding on themes addressed in his book The Transformation of Title IX: Regulating Gender Equality in Education, Melnick traces the transformation of Title IX from 1972 until the present. Conceived as an initiative that would prevent sex discrimination on campus, Title IX, as Melnick explains, became a catchall source for rules and regulations in higher education regarding sexual assault, sexual harassment, and offensive speech. Melnick argues that the Obama administration's heavy-handed approach to Title IX enforcement created serious threats to due process and free speech on campus. Melnick praises the more recent efforts of the Department of Education in the Trump administration to roll back some of these problematic guidelines. Finally, he considers why the Biden administration—and universities and colleges—are hesitant to return to the Obama-era policies.

In 1972, Congress passed Title IX of the Education Amendments, heralding a new age of equal opportunities for females in academics and athletics. After five decades of progress for women in education, Title IX's legacy is endangered by a new gender ideology that makes being female a matter of self-identification rather than biological reality. This new ideology is erasing women's opportunities in athletics and transforming single-sex spaces into mixed-sex spaces, depriving both males and females of their right to privacy. The Biden Administration is making aggressive attempts to enshrine this ideology in public schools, and the Supreme Court has declined to clarify that biology matters in school settings. These policies erase the progress of women and girls, and parents are now pushing back. Policy professionals won't want to miss this crucial discussion on Title IX and the battle for biological reality in American schools. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Amy: Welcome to Breaking Down Patriarchy! I'm Amy McPhie Allebest. Today's text is Title IX, which is the most well-known portion of the https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States (United States) https://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Education_Amendments_of_1972&action=edit&redlink=1 (Education Amendments, passed in 1972). This is an incredibly important piece of legislation, and we're going to get into its history, the way it impacts people's lives, and the way it is or isn't enforced effectively. All of this based on just one sentence. And just so listeners are aware, we are going to be talking about sexual assault later in the episode - not a graphic description, but a true story on a sensitive and difficult topic, so please be advised of  that. Before we begin our discussion, I want to introduce my reading partner for today, Whitney McPhie Griffith. Hi, Whitney! Whitney: Hi, Amy! Amy: Whitney and I are sisters, and we have had the great fortune of living near each other several times in our lives, but sadly we live far away from each other right now. So it's been so wonderful to work on this project together. I'm so very grateful that you were willing to talk about Title IX and share your experience and your wisdom. Thank you so much for doing this.  Whitney: I'm happy to be here! Amy: So could you tell us a little about yourself? Where you come from, who you are, etc.? Whitney: Yep! I'm from Colorado, mostly. I lived in many different places, but I spent my childhood in CO, then slowly made my way to the west coast. My husband and I moved to Portland from California two years ago, and I really really love it here. I'm a pianist and multidisciplinary artist, and I'm currently working on a graphic design degree. My husband started a company a couple years ago, so I'm also a sort of creative director, editor, photographer, digital content manager, web designer, morale coach, etc for his company. It's fun. Amy: And then I also like to ask my reading partners what interested them in this project. What brought you to Breaking Down Patriarchy?  Whitney: I love breaking down patriarchy! I think it's so important to discuss what patriarchy is-- a complex topic that I don't think is understood well enough. I'm grateful to join you in this conversation on Title IX, as I have some personal experience with it. Amy: Thanks so much, Whit. Again, I'm so grateful to have you here today and to hear your perspective as we talk about this document. So we are going to structure our conversation by explaining Title IX itself, talking about who the major players were in getting Title IX passed, and what its impacts have been.  So Whit, could you start us off by explaining a bit about Title IX? Whitney: Sure! The official website of the US Department of Education says: “No 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.” Then it goes on to talk about the scope of Title IX: “Title IX applies to institutions that receive federal financial assistance from the Department of Education, including state and local educational agencies. Educational programs and activities that receive Department of Education funds must operate in a nondiscriminatory manner. Some key issue areas in which recipients have Title IX obligations are: recruitment, admissions, and counseling; financial assistance; athletics; sex-based harassment; treatment of pregnant and parenting students; discipline; single-sex education; and employment.” ---- Amy: Thanks, Whit. So any listeners who heard the episode on the book, Keep the Damned Women Out, about United States universities excluding women from educational opportunities, will know why this legislation was needed. And you...

Since teen pregnancy is substantially higher in the US compared to other industrialized nations, we thought we would go digging around to find out why. In this episode we explain why this is so important, and the statistics speak for themselves. We also discuss complications from teen pregnancy for both the mother and the baby. Teen pregnancy seems to only be seen from a female perspective. We also look at teen pregnancy from a male perspective.  If you are a pregnant teen or a mother of a pregnant teen here are some resources and options that can be helpful.  Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 Planned parenthood Your Local Health Dept.

Looking back at the history of working women makes it clear how far we've come as a society — and in law specifically — but also how far there is to go. As McGuireWoods Partner Phyllis Young puts it in this episode: “It's almost like we started with these bigger issues and it's gotten more refined as far as how we're treating women in the workplace.” After the 19th Amendment gave some women the right to vote in 1920, it still took an uphill struggle to make the law apply in practice for women of color. At the same time, women were fighting for equal pay. Legislation like the 1963 Equal Pay Act, the 1964 Civil Rights Act and Title IX of the 1972 Education Amendments formed a solid backbone, as did cases championed by gender discrimination attorneys like late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. However, as McGuireWoods Associate Kelsey Hitchcock notes, not only does the gender wage gap still exist, it's even wider for women of color. Statistics also show that although more women than men are earning law degrees, more men hold senior positions in law firms. One place where women are given more than their fair share of work is at home. In heterosexual relationships, women are still doing most of the housework and childcare — a dynamic that has been exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic. But that's not to say there hasn't been progress. McGuireWoods Counsel Ann Dorsett says that 30 years into her career, she's finally seeing fewer women dropping out of the legal profession, and more women — and men — willing to help the next generation of female lawyers. “It has to be intentional: involving women in client meetings, placing them in higher roles. And I do see that intentionality.”

Oh what a rabbit hole we have fallen into. This is the first in a series on education in America. Hold tight to your umbrellas because this one's got us riled up. We begin by telling Lizzie Martinez's story. Lizzie didn’t wear a bra to school one day while recovering from a sunburn. She was asked to put bandaids over her nipples by her school’s administration and shared her story online, which went viral. We discuss school dress codes and the often unfair consequences of these rules. We talked to students who brought up the pervasive problem of bullying. Bullying wasn’t even defined until 2014, and it’s proven a complex issue for schools to handle. One program, Social and Emotional Learning (SEL), teaches self awareness and how to make responsible decisions. SEL has shown to effectively lower hostile events in schools but is only used a small number of districts. Sexual harassment, assault, and rape are widely reported in schools across the nation. Several students we spoke to felt their schools didn’t take action against these claims. National statistics support this with reports rising, but school action and punishment hasn’t equally increased. Title IX is a federal civil rights law passed in 1972 as part of the Education Amendments. Title IX states, “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.” Although this law is in place, many reports go nowhere. In an upcoming episode we’ll dig deeper into the racial inequalities in the U.S. school system, so stay tuned! Follow us on Instagram @HoldMyUmbrella and thank you for listening!

Schools, colleges, and universities understandably have been scrambling to implement the new sexual harassment rule for Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. In addition to that herculean task, educational leaders also have been contending with challenges from COVID-19, reopening plans, racial equity issues, and many other vital concerns. It’s no wonder that you might have missed several essential changes to Title IX that are unrelated to sexual harassment. But school leaders at all levels of education must understand these changes and the resulting impacts they should have on practices in the new school year. In this episode, we discuss all of the hot Title IX issues you may have missed but can’t ignore. Topics covered include: The U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights (OCR)’s rescission of Title IX guidance documents, including the 2001 Sexual Harassment Guidance and the 2015 resources for Title IX Coordinators, OCR’s publication of letters addressing the rights of LGBTQ students under Title IX in response to the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision recognizing rights for LGBTQ employees under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and OCR’s recent update to its Case Processing Manual (the CPM).

On June 15, 2020, the Supreme Court issued a decision in a series of cases brought by gay and transgender workers alleging that their employers violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII) by discriminating against them “because of . . . sex.” The Court held 6-3 in Bostock v. Clayton County, Georgia that Title VII forbids employers from firing an individual for being gay or transgender. The Court’s decision in Bostock was consolidated with two other cases, Altitude Express, Inc. v. Zarda and R.G. & G.R. Harris Funeral Homes, Inc. v. EEOC. (An earlier Sidebar addresses lower court decisions in these cases and provides further background on Title VII.) This Sidebar explains the Court’s holding in Bostock and highlights some potential implications of the decision for other areas of the law, including the “bona fide occupational qualification” (BFOQ) exception in Title VII; constitutional exceptions and religious-based exemptions to Title VII; various aspects of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX); and statutes that incorporate Title IX’s requirements, such as the Affordable Care Act.

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is a federal civil rights law prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sex in educational programs and activities by institutions that receive federal financial assistance from the U.S. Department of Education, and sexual misconduct may constitute discrimination prohibited by Title IX. When a school knows or reasonably should know of any incident of sexual misconduct, personnel must take immediate steps to understand what occurred (i.e., whether a hostile environment based on sex exists), and respond appropriately. We explore all the elements of Title IX compliance and how organizations should prepare to investigate complaints of misconduct including how to select the appropriate investigator.

Continuing our tour of foundational legislation and impacts on womxn, our second episode breaks down Title IX (nine, for you roman numeral noobs). For many of us, when we think of Title IX, we think about women and college sports. But, the law is much broader than that. Title IX is a Federal civil rights law passed as part of the Education Amendments of 1972 and protects people from discrimination based on sex in education programs or activities that receive Federal financial assistance.This week, we are joined by Regina D. Curran, a university Title IX coordinator, whose whole job is to make sure her university stays in compliance with the law by providing students with the support they need from a Title IX perspective. Regina walks us through Title IX, how implementation has changed over time, the relatively newer implications for campus sexual assault, and how she helps students in her role as a Title IX coordinator.

The history of TRIO is progressive. It began with Upward Bound, which emerged out of the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 in response to the administration's War on Poverty. In 1965, Talent Search, the second outreach program, was created as part of the Higher Education Act. In 1968, Student Support Services, which was originally known as Special Services for Disadvantaged Students, was authorized by the Higher Education Amendments and became the third in a series of educational opportunity programs. By the late 1960's, the term "TRIO" was coined to describe these federal programs.Over the years, the TRIO Programs have been expanded and improved to provide a wider range of services and to reach more students who need assistance. The Higher Education Amendments of 1972 added the fourth program to the TRIO group by authorizing the Educational Opportunity Centers. The 1976 Education Amendments authorized the Training Program for Federal TRIO Programs, initially known as the Training Program for Special Programs Staff and Leadership Personnel. Amendments in 1986 added the sixth program, the Ronald E. McNair Postbaccalaureate Achievement Program. Additionally, in 1990, the Department created the Upward Bound Math/Science program to address the need for specific instruction in the fields of math and science. The Upward Bound Math/Science program is administered under the same regulations as the regular Upward Bound program, but it must be applied for separately. Finally, the Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2001 amended the Student Support Services (SSS) program to permit the use of program funds for direct financial assistance (Grant Aid) for current SSS participants who are receiving Federal Pell Grants.The legislative requirements for all Federal TRIO Programs can be found in the Higher Education Act of 1965, Title IV, Part A, Subpart 2

Emmy Winner Charlotte Robinson host of OUTTAKE VOICES™ participated in a media conference call hosted by Congressman Joe Kennedy III and advocates fighting for transgender equality. The call followed an organizational meeting hosted by Kennedy with colleagues and representatives from organizations including the American Civil Liberties Union, Lambda Legal, National Center for Transgender Equality, the Palm Center, PFLAG and Human Rights Campaign to discuss the Trump Administration's efforts to ban trans troops, erode protections for trans students and workers and take away health care for trans patients. Kennedy has been Chair of the Congressional LGBTQ Equality Caucus’s Transgender Equality Task Force since 2017 and was outraged at the Trump administration attempt to erase the identities of approximately 2 million people in the country who are transgender by proposing that the U.S. Health & Human Services (HHS) legally define sex under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 to only be by the sex they are born with. Kennedy in his opening remarks talks about how the Trump administration from day one has been targeting our LGBTQ community especially members of our trans community including our youth in schools and strategically attacking trans soldiers by attempting to redefine our trans community out of existence. First Congressman Kennedy introduced Luc Athayde-Rizzaro from the National Center for Transgender Equality, Policy Counsel who advocates to ensure transgender people can access life-affirming, nondiscriminatory health care at the federal and state level. Then we heard from Aaron Belkin, Founding Director of the Palm Center one of the most effective LGBTQ rights organizations in the United States who addressed the transgender military issue and more followed by Sharon McGowan, Lambda Legal, Chief Strategy Officer and Legal Director who talked about Lambda Legal’s efforts to resist any attempt by the Trump Administration or any other opponent of LGBTQ equality to roll back our community’s progress. Next we heard from Ian Thompson, American Civil Liberties Union, Senior Legislative Representative who works to advance the organization’s civil liberties and civil rights agenda in Congress and the executive branch by focusing on LGBTQ rights, HIV/AIDS and sex education. Thompson talked about the Amy Stevens Case twice delayed by US Supreme Court. Then David Stacy, Human Rights Campaign, Government Affairs Director talked about why the Equality Act should be a priority for the new Democratic Majority in the House of Representatives come 2019. Stacy leads HRC’s federal policy team including advocacy efforts on Capitol Hill and the executive branch. The call concluded with openly trans Diego Miguel Sanchez, PFLAG, Director of Advocacy, Policy & Partnerships who talked about the crisis facing our transgender youth in our school systems. Since 1973 PFLG has been advancing LGBTQ equality through its mission of support, education and advocacy. Hear 450+ LGBT Interviews @OUTTAKE VOICES

Perhaps you missed the disturbing news story about University of California Berkeley student Isabella Chow who was the only member of the 18-member student senate to abstain from voting in favor of a bill condemning President Donald Trump for the commonsense decision to make clear that in Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, the term “gender” refers to biological sex—which it clearly did when written. Chow bravely and graciously explained her decision to her dogmatist senate colleagues… READ MORE…

The New York Times reached a new low in silliness, ignorance, and alarmism—or would that be new high—with this headline on Sunday: “‘Transgender’ Could Be Defined Out of Existence Under Trump Administration.” What this silly, ignorant, alarmist headline is referring to is the Trump Administration’s reasonable and increasingly necessary decision to make clear that when Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 refers to “sex,” it meant and still means biological sex. Ever-cunning, slippery-as-eels “progressives” at the NYTimes said this… READ MORE…

Resources Title IX at 45 Chapter on Women and STEM (National Coalition for Women and Girls in STEM, 2017) Bossy Pants by Tina Fey NEWS ROUNDUP The FCC announced the winners of its wireless spectrum auction last week. The auction involved creating incentives for broadcasters to sell their spectrum back to the FCC, with the FCC, in turn, auctioning that spectrum to wireless carriers hungry for spectrum to expand their networks. T-Mobile won the most licenses after spending $8 billion for the spectrum, followed Dish at $6.2 billion, Comcast at $1.7 billion, and 59 other bidders. Maggie Reardon has the story in CNET. Remember the Wheeler FCC's plan to allow travelers to make mobile phone calls in-flight? Well, it looks like you're going to have to keep that phone in airplane mode when you fly. Current FCC Chairman Ajit Pai put an order on circulation that would kill the plan, and since the FCC still only has 3 commissioners instead of the usual five, and 2 are Republican, the order is likely to pass. Laura Hautala reports in CNET. CIA Director Mike Pompeo pledged to crack down on sites like Wikileaks and activists like Edward Snowden. Pompeo said at a Center for Strategic and International Studies event last week that these so-called transparency activists "champion nothing but their own celebrity." Pompeo did not state specifically what specific measures the CIA would take, but said the agency's approaches will be constantly evolving. Catch the story in next.gov. The man who continued to robocall consumers on the Do-Not-Call registry will have to pay at least $65,000 to the Federal Trade Commission. The FTC announced the settlement on Thursday. Justin Ramsey will have to pay up to $2.2 million if the agency finds that he and his company lied about their finances. Brian Fung has the story in the Washington Post. Microsoft reported that the number of foreign intelligence surveillance requests it received from the federal government for the first 6 months of 2016 was nearly double what it was the previous year. The number of requests last year stood between 1,000 to 1,499. Dustin Volz reports in Reuters. The Federal Aviation Administration issued an order banning commercial and hobby drones from flying over 133 U.S. military bases. The drones can come within 400 feet but no more. Penalties will include fines and prosecutions. David Krevets reports in Ars. In Google's lawsuit against Uber for allegedly stealing trade secrets pertaining to Google's autonomous vehicle technology, Uber attempted to claim Fifth Amendment protection for the due diligence report it put together when it was developing its self-driving car initiative. But the Court isn't buying it and the due diligence report will be admitted. Google claims the report will prove Uber stole 14,000 files from Google. Johana Bhuiyan and Tess Townsend have the story in Recode.

From college campuses to the White House, the nation is talking about sexual assault on campuses and revisiting Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. Today's episode is a thoughtful conversation with a Title IX educator and activist, Chandini Jha, about what we can all do about sexual assault locally and globally. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In 2010, the Center for Public Integrity reported that victims of sexual misconduct on campus face “a frustrating search for justice.” On April 4, 2011, the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) issued a guidance document about sexual violence on campuses, setting standards for what universities must do in order to comply with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972’s prohibition of sex discrimination in education. In the years that followed, students in many universities brought complaints against their institutions for failing to respond appropriately to reported rapes. The OCR itself initiated many more investigations; as of August 2015, 129 universities, including many of the most prominent in the country, were under investigation. Others have already agreed to settlements. As universities have adopted policies in the name of meeting the OCR’s guidance, however, a powerful backlash has arisen. In a few highly publicized cases, accusations have been rebutted by later evidence. The policies adopted by some universities have been sharply criticized by faculty, most prominently at both Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania, where large numbers of professors of law raised concerns about due process for accused students. Some of the critics have been among the best known feminist and women’s rights scholars in the country. How can justice and fairness best be served when a person claims to be sexually victimized by a fellow member of a university community? What is the proper role of the university? How can the rights of victim and accused be not just balanced but maintained? The question is roiling campuses across the country. Ours is not the only campus where it is the topic for the 2015 Constitution Day program. We are very glad to welcome two exceedingly qualified speakers to discuss the topic. Howard Kallem J.D. served for nineteen years in the D.C. Regional Office of the Office for Civil Rights, 15 of them as chief regional attorney, before becoming Title IX Compliance Coordinator at the University of North Carolina in 2013 and then Director of Title IX Compliance at Duke University in 2014. Before joining the OCR, he served for 14 years with the Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Few speakers have similar standing and experience to address the reasons for the OCR’s policy and universities’ responses. Cynthia Grant Bowman, J.D., Ph.D., is the Dorothea S. Clarke Professor of Law at Cornell University. She was Professor of Law and Gender Studies at Northwestern University before joining the faculty at Cornell. She has published widely on issues involving the law and women, including women in the legal profession, sexual harassment, and legal remedies for adult survivors of childhood sex abuse. She also published one of the earliest texts on feminist legal theory, Feminist Jurisprudence, which is now in its fourth edition with co-authors. Few speakers have as much standing from which to criticize the policy and its implementation.
