Two months ahead of the release of the new Title IX regulations, the Court held that Title IX respondents are not entitled to “directly or indirectly cross-examine the accuser and other witnesses at a live hearing with the accused student in attendance, either in person or virtually.”

The lawsuit against University of the Pacific argues the university discriminates against male athletes by denying them equal athletic financial aid.

A Male Student Success Advisor sued UNC-Wilmington for being terminated mere hours after complaining of sex discrimination in dress code. Although formally dressed, he failed to button the top few shirt buttons, exposing a tuft of chest hair, for which he was sharply chastised. “The office Plaintiff worked in included nine (9) women, all of whom wore clothing that showed more skin than Plaintiff. This included open-toed shoes, capri pants, and v-neck shirts.” Plaintiff complained to HR and was terminated hours later.

“In the suit filed in California, Araiza’s lawyers argue the woman acted with malice, saying because of the allegations Araiza ‘suffered actual damages as Defendant’s Defamatory Statements caused and continue to cause Plaintiff to suffer significant past and future economic losses, shame, and mortification.”

Too often, upon being investigated for sex discrimination, schools simply put a tiny disclaimer that a program is “open to all sexes/genders” at the bottom of the web page, but keep all the branding and promotional distribution female-exclusive (only women in images, distributed only through women’s groups, etc.). But here, Barnard appears to have done the right thing.

“The office investigated and concluded that, while Minnesota maintained that the program was open to males, its marketing materials suggested otherwise. In a signed resolution agreement, the college committed to updating its application and promotional materials, as well as its website. Six months later, the camp’s website has been updated with a disclaimer stating that it is ‘open to all students regardless of sex.’ But the name of the camp hasn’t changed, the photo still shows only girls, and a question at the top of the page asks ‘Why an All Girls* Camp?'”

“Court’s ruling that a former Yale undergraduate can sue the student who accused him of rape could be cited in future cases and litigation over federal Title IX rules, some experts assert.”

“Data from 2000 to 2020 indicate that women researchers are now equally likely as their male peers to be awarded grant funding, to have their journal articles accepted for publication, and to receive strong letters of recommendation. Moreover, they are more likely than men to be hired for tenure-track positions. ”
