Education
The term "sex-based discrimination" may bring to mind harassment, exclusion, or various unwarranted assumptions about boys and girls. But did you know that Title IX applies also to equity in school sports, including non-discriminatory participation opportunities for male and female students? And what does equity in school sports mean, anyway? If your district or university has a football team for men, must you have a football team for women as well? How can a district show compliance with Title IX regulations if only some students are interested in a particular sport? What does the Office for Civil Rights look at when investigating this particular type of Title IX complaint? For an in-depth look at these and other questions, join Lisa Woloszynek, Miriam Pearlmutter, and Ben Chojnacki to talk about the athletic provisions of Title IX and what these mean for your school's athletic department and programming. This episode also addresses single-sex classes and activities in light of guidance issued by the Office for Civil Rights. We practice law at Walter Haverfield in Cleveland Ohio and we welcome your suggestions and comments.
