See Cohen v. Brown Univ., 809 F. Supp. Also consistent with the school desegregation cases, the substantial proportionality test of prong one is applied under the Title IX framework, not mechanically, but case-by-case, in a fact-specific manner. of Educ., 897 F.Supp. According to the district court, the unmet interests of the underrepresented sex must be completely accommodated before any of the interest of the overrepresented gender can be accommodated.28. 978, 1001 (D.R.I.1992) ("Cohen I "). 3221, 77 L.Ed.2d 866 (1983), agreed that injunctive relief and other equitable remedies are appropriate for violations of Title VI. Id. As Brown puts it, [t]he [equal protection] violation arises from the court's holding that Title IX requires the imposition of quotas, preferential treatment, and disparate treatment in the absence of a compelling state interest and a determination that the remedial measure is narrowly tailored to serve that interest. Reply Br. 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. The Policy Interpretation establishes a three-part test, a two-part test, and factors to be considered in determining compliance under 34 C.F.R. He was elected in 2014 as a Judge of the Civil Court, NY County, and has also served, by designation . Order of August 17, 1995 at 11. At the time of Cohen v. Brown University, 991 F.2d 888 (1st Cir.1993) (Cohen II), the standard intermediate scrutiny test for discriminatory classifications based on sex required that a statutory classification must be substantially related to an important government objective. Clark v. Jeter, 486 U.S. 456, 461, 108 S.Ct. What is important for our purposes is that the Supreme Court appears to have elevated the test applicable to sex discrimination cases to require an exceedingly persuasive justification. This is evident from the language of both the majority opinion and the dissent in Virginia. Benjamin D. Brown is a partner at Cohen Milstein and co-chair of the Antitrust practice group. Applying the second prong of the intermediate scrutiny test, we find that the means employed by the district court in fashioning relief for the statutory violation are clearly substantially related to these important objectives. 1764, 36 L.Ed.2d 583, and Croson, 488 U.S. 469, 109 S.Ct. v. Bakke, 438 U.S. 265, 98 S.Ct. The district court's interpretation of prongs one and three creates an Equal Protection problem, which I analyze in two steps. 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. 2997, 111 L.Ed.2d 445 (1990) (upholding a federal program requiring race-based preferences); City of Richmond v. J.A. 13. at 189 n. 6. All of the negative effects of a quota remain,29 and the school can escape the quota under prong three only by offering preferential treatment to the group that has demonstrated less interest in athletics. This relative interests standard would entrench and fix by law the significant gender-based disparity in athletics opportunities found by the district court to exist at Brown, a finding we have held to be not clearly erroneous. In its decision in Cohen II, this court recognized and, indeed, emphasized the fact that its holding was only preliminary. Although Cohen II, in its brief discussion of the equal protection issue, does not specify the precise standard it used, the court stated that even if we were to assume that the regulation creates a gender classification slanted somewhat in favor of women, we would find no constitutional infirmity. Cohen II, 991 F.2d at 901. We do, however, find error in the district court's award of specific relief and therefore remand the case to the district court for reconsideration of the remedy in light of this opinion. Croson Co., 488 U.S. 469, 493, 109 S.Ct. at 1194-95 (noting that Webster upheld a social security wage law that benefitted women in part because its purpose was the permissible one of redressing our society's longstanding disparate treatment of women). denied, 518 U.S. 1033, 116 S.Ct. Accordingly, we have held that only a few exceptional circumstances can overcome the interests served by adherence to the doctrine and these exceptions are narrowly circumscribed. Counting new women's junior varsity positions as equivalent to men's full varsity positions flagrantly violates the spirit and letter of Title IX; in no sense is an institution providing equal opportunity if it affords varsity positions to men but junior varsity positions to women. In 2018, the defendant established a . The problem with the majority's argument can be illustrated with a hypothetical college admissions policy that would require proportionality between the gender ratio of the local student aged population and that of admitted students. of Educ., 402 U.S. 1, 25, 91 S.Ct. Id. As we have explained, Croson's factual concerns are not raised by a district court's determination-predicated upon duly adjudicated factual findings bearing multiple indicia of reliability and specificity-of gender discrimination in violation of a federal statute. The Metro Broadcasting Court distinguished Croson, noting that [i]n fact, much of the language and reasoning in Croson reaffirmed the lesson of Fullilove18 that race-conscious classifications adopted by Congress to address racial and ethnic discrimination are subject to a different standard than such classifications prescribed by state and local governments. Metro Broadcasting, 497 U.S. at 565, 110 S.Ct. 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. Brown has contended throughout this litigation that the significant disparity in athletics opportunities for men and women at Brown is the result of a gender-based differential in the level of interest in sports and that the district court's application of the three-part test requires universities to provide athletics opportunities for women to an extent that exceeds their relative interests and abilities in sports. One need look no further than the impressive performances of our country's women athletes in the 1996 Olympic Summer Games to see that Title IX has had a dramatic and positive impact on the capabilities of our women athletes, particularly in team sports. Since the applicable regulation, 34 C.F.R. We also observed, however, that [w]e are a society that cherishes academic freedom and recognizes that universities deserve great leeway in their operations. 991 F.2d at 906 (citing Wynne v. Tufts Univ. This relative interests approach posits that an institution satisfies prong three of the three-part test by meeting the interests and abilities of the underrepresented gender only to the extent that it meets the interests and abilities of the overrepresented gender.13 See Cohen II, 991 F.2d at 899. After considering a large number of public comments, OCR published the final Policy Interpretation. The court found, however, that it is difficult for donor-funded varsity athletes to maintain a level of competitiveness commensurate with their abilities and that these athletes operate at a competitive disadvantage in comparison to university-funded varsity athletes. Nevertheless, the University wishes to act in good faith with the order of the Court, notwithstanding issues of fact and law which are currently in dispute. Brown assigns error to the district court's exclusion of certain evidence pertaining to the relative athletics interests of men and women. As noted in Cohen, 879 F.Supp. It is no less a quota if an exception exists for schools whose gender ratio differs from that of the local population but which admit every applicant of the underrepresented gender. The majority opinion, however, offers inconsistent guidance with respect to the role of statistics in Title IX claims. It was perfectly acceptable, therefore, for the agency to chart a different course and adopt an enforcement scheme that measures compliance by analyzing how a school has allocated its various athletic resources. Not all sports are the same and the university should be given the flexibility to determine which activities are most beneficial to its student body. Since Cohen II, however, Metro Broadcasting has been overruled, at least in part. Furthermore, such evidence is completely irrelevant where, as here, viable and successful women's varsity teams have been demoted or eliminated. The panel also noted that, in spite of the scant legislative history regarding Title IX as it applies to athletics, Congress heard a great deal of testimony regarding discrimination against women in higher education and acted to reverse the Supreme Court's decision in Grove City College v. Bell, 465 U.S. 555, 573-74, 104 S.Ct. 1535, 1557 (D.Ala.1995) (stating that courts must look behind the recitation of a benign purpose to ensure that sex-based classifications redress past discrimination). 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 all other respects the judgment of the district court is affirmed. When an appeal comes to us in that posture, the appellate court's conclusions as to the merits of the issues presented on preliminary injunction are to be understood as statements of probable outcomes, rather than as comprising the ultimate law of the case. A.M. Capen's Co. v. American Trading and Prod. In Metro Broadcasting, the Court upheld two federally mandated race-based preference policies under intermediate scrutiny. 515, ----, ----, 116 S.Ct. 2733, 57 L.Ed.2d 750 (1978) (striking down a state medical school's admissions policy that set aside 16 of its places for racial minorities). See 34 C.F.R. Thus, Brown will fully comply with Title IX by meeting the standards of prong three, without approaching satisfaction of the standards of prong one. at 2291 (Scalia, J. dissenting). at 314-16, 97 S.Ct. First, as Brown points out, the Regulation that includes prong three provides that, in assessing compliance under the regulation, the governing principle in this area is that the athletic interests and abilities of male and female students be equally effectively accommodated. Policy Interpretation, 44 Fed.Reg. The district court's decision to fashion specific relief was made, in part, to avoid protracted litigation over the compliance plan and to expedite the appeal on the issue of liability. 1044, 134 L.Ed.2d 191 (1996). at 3008. 451, 462-463, 50 L.Ed.2d 397 (1976), stressed that the principles embodied in the Equal Protection Clause are not to be rendered inapplicable by statistically measured but loose-fitting generalities. See also id. See Clarification Memorandum at 8 (If an institution has recently eliminated a viable team from the intercollegiate program, OCR will find that there is sufficient interest, ability, and available competition to sustain an intercollegiate team in that sport unless an institution can provide strong evidence that interest, ability or available competition no longer exists.); id. Junior varsity squads, by definition, do not meet this criterion. at 205. at 211, and that [a]lthough the number of varsity sports offered to men and women are equal, the selection of sports offered to each gender generates far more individual positions for male athletes than for female athletes, id. 21. Plaintiffs alleged that, at the time of the demotions, the men students at Brown already enjoyed the benefits of a disproportionately large share of both the university resources allocated to athletics and the intercollegiate participation opportunities afforded to student athletes. Cohen v. Brown University, Court Case No. This led the Supreme Court to characterize the provision at issue as remedial rather than benign, noting that the provision had been repealed in 1972, roughly contemporaneously with congressional [anti-discrimination] reforms [that] have lessened the economic justification for the more favorable benefit computation for women. See Cohen v. Brown Univ., 16 F.4th 935, 940-41 (1st Cir. The controversy in this case began in April 1968, when Paul Robert Cohen wore a jacket bearing the words "Fuck the Draft" into a Los Angeles courthouse. Based on the facts of this case, the Court holds that . 2003) on CaseMine. Filed Date: April 9, 1992 . For the purposes of this appeal, we must review findings of fact under a clearly erroneous standard, Reich v. Newspapers of New England, Inc., 44 F.3d 1060, 1069 (1st Cir.1995) and findings of law de novo, Portsmouth v. Schlesinger, 57 F.3d 12, 14 (1st Cir.1995). Toggle navigation . We emphasize two points at the outset. We think it important to bear in mind, however, the congressional concerns that inform the proper interpretation of this provision. Villanueva v. Wellesley College, 930 F.2d 124, 129 (1st Cir.1991) (citations omitted). Similarly, the district court's interpretation requires the school to accommodate the interests of every female student until proportionality is reached. 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. Cohen v. Brown Univ., 991 F.2d 888, 907 (1st Cir.1993) ("Cohen II "). at 2274 (citing J.E.B. & Constr. The majority is unsympathetic to Brown's claim that the disparity between athletic opportunities for men and women reflect a gender-based difference in interest levels. Only where the plaintiff meets the burden of proof on these elements and the institution fails to show as an affirmative defense a history and continuing practice of program expansion responsive to the interests and abilities of the underrepresented gender will liability be established. See, e.g., Mike Tharp et al., Sports crazy! Title IX also specifies that its prohibition against gender discrimination shall not be interpreted to require any educational institution to grant preferential or disparate treatment to the members of one sex on account of an imbalance which may exist between the total number or percentage of persons of that sex participating in any federally supported program or activity, and the total number or percentage of persons of that sex in any community, State, section, or other area. 20 U.S.C.A. 2733, 57 L.Ed.2d 750 (1978) (opinion of Powell, J.)). 1912, 1919 n. 13, 72 L.Ed.2d 299 (1982). Indeed, Brown argues as if the prior panel had not decided the precise statutory interpretation questions presented (which it clearly did) and as if the district court's liability analysis were contrary to the law enunciated in Cohen II (which it clearly is not). 106.37(c) and 106.41(c)]. 44 Fed.Reg. 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. 20 U.S.C.A. at 71,415. See Miller v. Johnson, 515 U.S. 900, ----, 115 S.Ct. We must, as Brown urges, reexamine the Equal Protection challenge to the three-prong test as interpreted by the district court. [W]here an otherwise acceptable construction of a statute would raise serious constitutional problems, [we] construe the statute to avoid such problems unless such construction is plainly contrary to the intent of Congress. Edward J. DeBartolo Corp. v. Florida Gulf Coast Bldg. At the time of Cohen v. Brown University, 991 F.2d 888 (1st Cir.1993) (Cohen II ), the standard intermediate scrutiny . The panel then carefully delineated the burden of proof, which requires a Title IX plaintiff to show, not only disparity between the gender composition of the institution's student body and its athletic program, thereby proving that there is an underrepresented gender, id. at 203 n. 36. at 71,413. 515 U.S. at ----, 115 S.Ct. I am not persuaded by the majority's argument that the three-part test does not constitute a quota because it does not permit an agency or court to find a violation solely on the basis of prong one of the test; instead, an institution must also fail prongs two and three. In 1996, the ACLU filed a "friend of the court" brief in support of a challenge to Brown University's athletic program as discriminating on the basis of gender - in violation of Title IX. See Personnel Adm'r v. Feeney, 442 U.S. 256, 273, 99 S.Ct. In Cohen I, 991 F.2d 888, the "watershed" case involving Title IX and university athletics, Brown University appealed from the district court's issuance of a preliminary injunction ordering Brown to reinstate its women's gymnastics and volleyball programs, pending the resolution of the plaintiffs' claim that the proposed cutbacks violated Title IX. 1313, 1322, 59 L.Ed.2d 533 (1979). The plaintiff . See Adarand, 515 U.S. at ----, 115 S.Ct. The district court did not find that full and effective accommodation of the athletics interests and abilities of Brown's female students would disadvantage Brown's male students. 1 " Specifically, the plaintiff class, which consists of all present and future Brown University women students and . Although the Court in two places asks whether the State has demonstrated that the classification serves important governmental objectives and that the discriminatory means employed are substantially related to the achievement of those objectives the Court never answers the question presented in anything resembling that form. Id. 106.41(b). The most that can be demanded is that athletics be provided in a non-discriminatory manner. Under the doctrine of the law of the case, a decision on an issue of law made by the court at one stage of a case becomes a binding precedent to be followed in successive stages of the same litigation except in unusual circumstances. V. Strong, of Raleigh, for defendant. The school argues women are less interested in sports than men. The Policy Interpretation recognizes that women's lower rate of participation in athletics reflects women's historical lack of opportunities to participate in sports. 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. Nor do the regulations require institutions to field gender-integrated teams:However, where a recipient operates or sponsors a team in a particular sport for members of one sex but operates or sponsors no such team for members of the other sex, and athletic opportunities for members of that sex have previously been limited, members of the excluded sex must be allowed to try-out for the team offered unless the sport involved is a contact sport.Id.Whether or not the institution maintains gender-segregated teams, it must provide gender-blind equality of opportunity to its student body. Cohen II, 991 F.2d at 896. Thus, to the extent that Brown challenges the statutory scheme itself, that challenge is foreclosed under the law of the case doctrine. In addition, a gender-conscious remedial scheme is constitutionally permissible if it directly protects the interests of the disproportionately burdened gender. 30,406, 30,409 (remarks of Sen. Bayh); 117 Cong.Rec. A viable tennis team may require only a single player. 2021), cert. Title IX provides that [n]o person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance. 20 U.S.C.A. Second, even assuming such a quota scheme is otherwise constitutional, appellees have not pointed to an exceedingly persuasive justification, see Virginia, 518 U.S. at ----, 116 S.Ct. Bernier v. Boston Edison Co.: bad driver lady crashed into bad . at 980, and that, of the 894 undergraduate students competing on these teams, 63.3% (566) were men and 36.7% (328) were women, id.

For simplicity, we treat DED as the promulgating agency. Cohen v. Brown University. 15 women's athletic teams (328) 16 men's teams (63%, 566) What Brown did to handle with the problem that there were many athletes. Intermediate scrutiny does not require that there be no other way to accomplish the objectives, but even if that were the standard, it would be satisfied in the unique context presented by the application of Title IX to athletics. 2000e-2(j), and was specifically designed to prohibit quotas in university admissions and hiring, based upon the percentage of individuals of one gender in a geographical community. All rights reserved. (internal citations omitted). denied sub nom. Schlesinger v. Ballard, 419 U.S. 498, 508, 95 S.Ct. Based on an analysis of membership in varsity teams, the district court concluded that there existed a disparity between female participation in intercollegiate athletics and female student enrollment. EPA questioned the petitioners' standing to invoke the court's jurisdiction under Article III.

Cohen II squarely rejected Brown's interpretation of the three-part test and carefully delineated its own, which is now the law of this circuit as well as the law of this case. 2755, 2762-63, 49 L.Ed.2d 651 (1976). We point out that Virginia adds nothing to the analysis of equal protection challenges to gender-based classifications that has not been part of that analysis since 1979, long before Cohen II was decided. Brown's relative interests approach is not a reasonable interpretation of the three-part test. at ----, 116 S.Ct. Interest and ability rarely develop in a vacuum; they evolve as a function of opportunity and experience. 3331, 3336, 73 L.Ed.2d 1090 (1982), with Metro Broadcasting, 497 U.S. at 564-65, 110 S.Ct.

Cohen, et al v Walsh, et al | 21-1032 | Court Records - UniCourt is inconsistent with Brown's philosophy to the extent that it grants advantages and enforces disadvantages upon student athletes solely because of their gender and curbs the historic role of coaches in determining the number of athletes which can be provided an opportunity to participate. at 188 n. 4.
