Reasoning that [w]here both the athlete and coach determine that there is a place on the team for a student, it is not for this Court to second-guess their judgment and impose its own, or anyone else's, definition of a valuable or genuine varsity experience, the district court concluded that [e]very varsity team member is therefore a varsity participant. Id. at 205. at 3336 & n. 9 (reviewing benign gender-conscious admissions policy under intermediate scrutiny and recognizing that the analysis does not change with the objective of the classification); accord Wygant, 476 U.S. at 273, 106 S.Ct. For example, in holding that Oklahoma's 3.2% beer statute invidiously discriminated against males 18-20 years of age, the Court in Craig v. Boren, 429 U.S. 190, 208-209, 97 S.Ct. Metro Broadcasting, and our application of its intermediate scrutiny standard in Cohen II, omitted the additional skeptical scrutiny requirement of an exceedingly persuasive justification for gender-based government action. In Adarand, the Supreme Court reasoned that it may not always be clear that a so-called preference is in fact benign. Id. 1681-1688, provides that 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. 5808 (1972) (remarks of Sen. Bayh) (quoted in Haffer, 524 F.Supp. at 2275 (internal quotations omitted) (emphasis added). at 4-5, and concludes that if the Court determines that this plan is not sufficient to reach proportionality, phase two will be the elimination of one or more men's teams, id. 1192, 1194-95, 51 L.Ed.2d 360 (1977) (allowing women to compute certain social security benefits with a more favorable formula than could be used by men); Lewis v. Cowen, 435 U.S. 948, 98 S.Ct. 706, 102 L.Ed.2d 854 (1989) (striking down a municipal set-aside program requiring that 30% of the city's construction dollars be paid to racial minority subcontractors on an annual basis); Johnson v. Transportation Agency, 480 U.S. 616, 107 S.Ct. In so doing, we upheld the district court's analysis and ruled that an institution violates Title IX if it ineffectively accommodates its students' interests and abilities in athletics under 34 C.F.R. Loving v. Virginia, 388 U.S. 1, 8-9, 87 S.Ct. Synopsis of Rule of Law. at 898. The instant case should be distinguished from Califano for two reasons. We reject Brown's kitchen-sink characterization of the Policy Interpretation and its challenge to the substantial deference accorded that document by the district court. We find no error in the district court's definition and calculation of the intercollegiate athletics participation opportunities afforded to Brown students, and no error in the court's finding of a 13.01% disparity between the percentage of women participating in intercollegiate varsity athletics at Brown and the percentage of women in Brown's undergraduate student body. at 211. at 902. 2778, 2782-83, 81 L.Ed.2d 694 (1984). See Linkletter v. Walker, 381 U.S. 618, 627, 85 S.Ct. (c)Equal Opportunity. benign race-conscious measures mandated by Congress are constitutionally permissible to the extent that they serve important governmental objectives within the power of Congress and are substantially related to achievement of those objectives. Before proceeding to the analysis, however, we must first address Brown's challenge to the standard of review. at 2275-exceedingly persuasive justification in light of section 1681(b)'s no quota provision. In short, the substantial proportionality test is but one aspect of the inquiry into whether an institution's athletics program complies with Title IX. 106.37(c) and 106.41. 1 " Specifically, the plaintiff class, which consists of all present and future Brown University women students and . See Cohen II, 991 F.2d at 901. 1681(b) (West 1990). See Williams v. School Dist. To the extent that the rate of interest in athletics diverges between men and women at any institution, the district court's interpretation would require that such an institution treat an individual male student's athletic interest and an individual female student's athletic interest completely differently: one student's reasonable interest would have to be met, by law, while meeting the other student's interest would only aggravate the lack of proportionality giving rise to the legal duty. Bob Jones University v. United States; City of Akron v. Akron Center for Reproductive Health, 462 U.S. 416 (1983). at 190 n. 14. 1993) Key Search Terms: Title IX, cut-backs, college athletics Facts In response to budgeting restrictions and financial problems, Brown University demoted women's volleyball, women's gymnastics, men's golf, and men's water polo to intercollegiate club sports. The district court found Brown's plan to be fatally flawed for two reasons. of Educ., 402 U.S. 1, 25, 91 S.Ct. at 1031-33, 1035-37. This is a class action lawsuit charging Brown University, its President, and its Athletic Director (collectively "defendants" or "Brown") with discriminating against women in the operation of its intercollegiate athletic program, in violation of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, 20 U.S.C. Subsection (b) also provides, however, that it shall not be construed to prevent the consideration in any proceeding under this chapter of statistical evidence tending to show that such an imbalance exists with respect to the participation in, or receipt of the benefits of, any such program or activity by the members of one sex. Id. The majority pays lip service to these concerns in the final pages of its long opinion, stating that we are a society that cherishes academic freedom and recognizes that universities deserve great leeway in their operations. Majority Opinion at 185 (quoting Cohen II, 991 F.2d at 906), and [o]ur respect for academic freedom and reluctance to interject ourselves into the conduct of university affairs counsels that we give universities as much freedom as possible. Majority Opinion at 185. Second, Brown's plan artificially boosts women's varsity numbers by adding junior varsity positions on four women's teams. Id. It does not follow from our statutory and constitutional analyses that we endorse the district court's remedial order. On remand, the district court determined after a lengthy bench trial that Brown's intercollegiate athletics program violates Title IX and its supporting regulations. It is also worthwhile to note that to fully accommodate the interests and abilities of the underrepresented sex is an extraordinarily high-perhaps impossibly so-requirement. Neither this court nor the Supreme Court has drawn this distinction in the context of gender discrimination claims or held that a less stringent standard applies in cases involving benign, rather than invidious, gender discrimination. Applying these principles, Cohen II held that the applicable regulation, 34 C.F.R. at ----, 115 S.Ct. Expanding women's athletic opportunities in areas where there is proven ability and interest is the very purpose of Title IX and the simplest, least disruptive, route to Title IX compliance at Brown. Early in the opinion, the majority approvingly cites to the statistical evaluations conducted in Cohen I, Cohen II, and Cohen III. 185, 214 (D.R.I.1995) ( Cohen III). They heated the cellar accordingly but this raised the temperature on the floor above, which caused the plaintiff's stock of delicate brown paper to dry and diminish in value. Co. of Am., 916 F.2d 731, 734 (1st Cir.1990) (It is settled in this circuit that issues adverted to on appeal in a perfunctory manner, unaccompanied by some developed argumentation, are deemed to have been abandoned.) (citations omitted). The binding authority of Cohen II, therefore, is lessened by the fact that it was an appeal from a preliminary injunction. 549 U.S 497 (2007) Brief Fact Summary. 20 U.S.C.A. The law of the case doctrine is akin to the doctrines of collateral estoppel, res judicata, and stare decisis, Joan Steinman, Law Of The Case: A Judicial Puzzle In Consolidated And Transferred Cases And In MultiDistrict Litigation, 135 U.Penn.L.Rev. at 2777 (recognizing that the authority of a federal court to incorporate racial criteria into a remedial decree also extends to statutory violations and that, where federal anti-discrimination laws have been violated, race-conscious remedies may be appropriate); Weber, 443 U.S. at 197, 99 S.Ct. at 204, 97 S.Ct. at 1848, on the basis of facts insufficient to support a prima facie case of a constitutional or statutory violation, Croson, 488 U.S. at 500, 109 S.Ct. at 706; Wygant, 476 U.S. at 276, 106 S.Ct. By including in its accounting a contact sport that requires very large numbers of participants, e.g., football, the district court skews the number of athletic participants-making it impossible for the university to provide both men's and women's teams in other sports. at 25; (iii) other programs indicative of interests and abilities, such as club and intramural sports, sports programs at feeder schools, community and regional sports programs, and physical education classes, id.As the district court noted, however, the agency characterizes surveys as a simple way to identify which additional sports might appropriately be created to achieve compliance Thus, a survey of interests would follow a determination that an institution does not satisfy prong three; it would not be utilized to make that determination in the first instance. Cohen III, 879 F.Supp. 1572, 55 L.Ed.2d 797 (1978) (summary affirmance of a district court decision upholding a provision of the Railroad Retirement Act that allowed women to retire at age 60 while men could not retire until age 65). But any such departure demands special justification.) (quoting Arizona v. Rumsey, 467 U.S. 203, 212, 104 S.Ct. There is simply no other way to assess participation rates, interest levels, and abilities. As the Seventh Circuit observed, Congress itself recognized that addressing discrimination in athletics presented a unique set of problems not raised in areas such as employment and academics. Kelley, 35 F.3d at 270 (citing Sex Discrimination Regulations, Hearings Before the Subcommittee on Post Secondary Education of the Committee on Education and Labor, 94th Cong., 1st Sess. 106.37(c) and 106.41(c)]. 44 Fed.Reg. (iii) No additional discretionary funds will be used for athletics. at 214. The district court ordered Brown to submit within 120 days a comprehensive plan for complying with Title IX, but stayed that portion of the order pending appeal. Mora v. J&M Plating, Inc., 2022 IL App (2d) 210692, 2022 WL 17335861 (2022). We agree with the district court that Brown's proposed plan fell short of a good faith effort to meet the requirements of Title IX as explicated by this court in Cohen II and as applied by the district court on remand. 7. Athletics are part of that curriculum. This prong surely requires statistical balancing. See Adarand, 515 U.S. 200, 115 S.Ct. The District Court's Construction of the Three-Prong Test. The district court held that, because Brown maintains a 13.01% disparity between female participation in intercollegiate athletics and female student enrollment, it cannot gain the protection of prong one. Cohen III, 879 F.Supp. We are left with the explanations discussed in Cohen II to the effect that Congress conducted hearings on the subject of discrimination against women in education. E.g., A.M. Capen's Co. v. American Trading and Prod. Another important distinction between this case and affirmative action cases is that the district court's remedy requiring Brown to accommodate fully and effectively the athletics interests and abilities of its women students does not raise the concerns underlying the Supreme Court's requirement of a particularized factual predicate to justify voluntary affirmative action plans. Cases and commentators sometimes treat cases involving involuntarily implemented plans-e.g., plans adopted pursuant to a consent decree or a contempt order-as affirmative action cases. 1. 106.41(b)(1995) provides that an academic institution may operate separate teams for members of each sex where selection of such teams is based upon competitive skill or the activity involved is a contact sport. 34 C.F.R. See, e.g., Mississippi Univ. Id. In providing for gender-segregated teams, intercollegiate athletics programs necessarily allocate opportunities separately for male and female students, and, thus, any inquiry into a claim of gender discrimination must compare the athletics participation opportunities provided for men with those provided for women. The district court's definition of athletics participation opportunities comports with the agency's own definition.
