845, 848-49, 78 L.Ed.2d 663 (1984) (instructing appellate courts to ignore errors that do not affect the essential fairness of the trial). at 12. The majority offers no guidance to a school seeking to assess the levels of interest of its students. & Constr. Additionally, the Supreme Court endorsed the view that. The relevant facts, legal principles, and procedural history of this case have been set forth in exhaustive detail in the previous opinions issued in this case. The law of the case doctrine precludes relitigation of the legal issues presented in successive stages of a single case once those issues have been decided. 3331, 3335-36 and n. 9, 73 L.Ed.2d 1090 (1982); Mills v. Habluetzel, 456 U.S. 91, 99, 102 S.Ct. HEW apparently received an unprecedented 9,700 comments on the proposed Title IX athletics regulations, see Haffer v. Temple Univ. 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. We held that the district court erred in placing upon Brown the burden of proof under prong three of the three-part test used to determine whether an intercollegiate athletics program complies with Title IX, discussed infra. 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. Our 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 in conducting their operations consonant with constitutional and statutory limits. at 1001, will remain in effect pending a final remedial order. at 192. The Court has been especially critical of the use of statistical evidence offered to prove generalized, stereotypical notions about men and women. Cohen v. Brown Univ., 991 F.2d 888, 907 (1st Cir.1993) ("Cohen II "). at 197-99; accord Kelley, 35 F.3d at 272 (holding that neither the regulation nor the policy interpretation run afoul of the dictates of Title IX). That case concerned Congress' provision, under the Social Security Act, for a lower retirement age for women than for men, with the result that, as between similarly situated male and female wage-earners, the female wage-earner would be awarded higher monthly social security payments, id. From a constitutional standpoint, the case before us is altogether different. The processes take into account the nationally increasing levels of women's interests and abilities;b. at 211. View Cohen v. Brown University. 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 refusal to apply Title VII standards in its inquiry into whether Brown's intercollegiate athletics program complies with Title IX. at 902. In light of the above, Brown argues that prong three is in fact ambiguous with respect to whether fully means (1) an institution must meet 100% of the underrepresented gender's unmet reasonable interest and ability, or (2) an institution must meet the underrepresented gender's unmet reasonable interest and ability as fully as it meets those of the overrepresented gender. Cf. The Cohen II court stated that it was adopting a deferential standard of review, and that if the district court made no clear error of law or fact, we will overturn its calibration only for manifest abuse of discretion. Id. I am less interested in the actual term quota than the legally cognizable characteristics that render a quota scheme impermissible. Norfolk, November 28.The injunc tion granted on the part of the special tax bondholders vs. the State Teasurer, was opened to-day before Judges Brooks and Bond and was argued by Walker J. Budd, of Baltimore, for the plaintiff, and Geo. While the Title IX regime permits institutions to maintain gender-segregated teams, the law does not require that student-athletes attending institutions receiving federal funds must compete on gender-segregated teams; nor does the law require that institutions provide completely gender-integrated athletics programs.14 To the extent that Title IX allows institutions to maintain single-sex teams and gender-segregated athletics programs, men and women do not compete against each other for places on team rosters. In Cohen v. Brown University, plaintiff Amy Cohen challenges the elimination of women's gymnastics and volleyball teams. Nor did Brown satisfy prong two. 2758, 65 L.Ed.2d 902 (1980) (upholding a federal program requiring state and local recipients of federal public works grants to set aside 10% of funds for procuring goods and services from minority business enterprises); United Steelworkers v. Weber, 443 U.S. 193, 99 S.Ct. Mr. Brown is also the chairman of the firm's Executive Committee and the Managing Partner Elect.Mr. Citation. at 1957 (The drafters of Title IX explicitly assumed that it would be interpreted and applied as Title VI had been during the preceding eight years.). Bernier v. Boston Edison Co.: bad driver lady crashed into bad . 106.41, deserves controlling weight, 991 F.2d at 895; that the Policy Interpretation warrants substantial deference, id. 1549, 1554-55, 71 L.Ed.2d 770 (1982); Craig v. Boren, 429 U.S. 190, 197, 97 S.Ct. Later in the opinion, however, when the level of interest among women at Brown is at issue, the court adopts a much more critical attitude towards statistical evidence: [T]here exists the danger that, rather than providing a true measure of women's interest in sports, statistical evidence purporting to reflect women's interest instead provides only a measure of the very discrimination that is and has been the basis for women's lack of opportunity. Majority Opinion at 179. If a school, like Brown, eschews the first two benchmarks of the accommodation test, electing to stray from substantial proportionality and failing to march uninterruptedly in the direction of equal athletic opportunity, it must comply with the third benchmark. 2. Interest and ability rarely develop in a vacuum; they evolve as a function of opportunity and experience. 3331, 3336-37, 73 L.Ed.2d 1090 (1982); Califano v. Webster, 430 U.S. 313, 317, 97 S.Ct. 572, 577-78, 42 L.Ed.2d 610 (1975). See Cohen v. Brown Univ., 809 F. Supp. Amy Cohen (plaintiff), a member of the women's gymnastics team, and several other student-athletes filed suit against Brown alleging that the institution violated Title IX. 515, ---------, 116 S.Ct. See Hogan, 458 U.S. at 728, 102 S.Ct. 2997, 111 L.Ed.2d 445 (1990) (upholding a federal program requiring race-based preferences); City of Richmond v. J.A. Brown argues that the district court erred in concluding that it was obligated to give substantial deference to the Policy Interpretation, on the ground that the interpretation is not a worthy candidate for deference, Reply Br. See Grivois v. Brown, 6 Vet. For example, the district court found that some schools are reluctant to include donor-funded teams in their varsity schedules3 and that donor-funded teams are unable to obtain varsity-level coaching, recruits, and funds for travel, equipment, and post-season competition. 106.41, and policy interpretation, 44 Fed.Reg. Idk. 71,413, 71,418 (December 11, 1979). [a]bsent searching judicial inquiry into the justification for such race-based measures, there is simply no way of determining what classifications are benign or remedial and what classifications are in fact motivated by illegitimate notions of racial inferiority or simple racial politics. Equal Protection is implicated where the claim is made that a classification made by the government intentionally subjects an individual to treatment different from similarly situated individuals based on an impermissible characteristic, such as race, national origin, or gender. The refusal to accept surveys of interest levels as evidence of interest raises the question of what indicators might be used. Applying that test, it is clear that the district court's remedial order passes constitutional muster. Appellees argue that this claim is waived because Brown did not raise it in the district court. Cohen III, 879 F.Supp. The plaintiff class comprises all present, future, and potential Brown University women students who participate, seek to participate, and/or are deterred from participating in intercollegiate athletics funded by Brown. The district court found that, in 1993-94, Brown's intercollegiate athletics program consisted of 32 teams, 16 men's teams and 16 women's teams. Although the protections of the First Amendment cannot be used to justify discrimination, this court should not forget that it has a duty to protect a private institution's right to mould its own educational environment. THE PLAINTIFF CLASS. 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. The balance that Cohen II advocates would require the institution to ensure participatory opportunities when, and to the extent that, there is sufficient interest and ability among the members of the excluded sex to sustain a viable team. Id. See McDonough Power Equip., Inc. v. Greenwood, 464 U.S. 548, 553, 104 S.Ct. (3)Where the members of one sex are underrepresented among intercollegiate athletes, and the institution cannot show a continuing practice of program expansion such as that cited above, whether it can be demonstrated that the interests and abilities of the members of that sex have been fully and effectively accommodated by the present program. Consistent with the school desegregation cases, the question of substantial proportionality under the Policy Interpretation's three-part test is merely the starting point for analysis, rather than the conclusion; a rebuttable presumption, rather than an inflexible requirement. In addition, the concept of preference does not have the same meaning, or raise the same equality concerns, as it does in the employment and admissions contexts. 2003) on CaseMine. 1171, 1175-76, 113 L.Ed.2d 117 (1991) (quoting Lyng v. Payne, 476 U.S. 926, 939, 106 S.Ct. Indeed, no governmental interest is even identified in Cohen II. However, although Congress could easily have done so, it did not ban affirmative action or gender-conscious remedies under Title IX. (quoting Regents of Univ. [a]n institution does not provide equal opportunity if it caps its men's teams after they are well-stocked with high-caliber recruits while requiring women's teams to boost numbers by accepting walk-ons. We think it important to bear in mind, however, the congressional concerns that inform the proper interpretation of this provision. Brown argues that the district court's interpretation of the three-part test requires numerical proportionality, thus imposing a gender-based quota scheme in contravention of the statute. Requiring parallel teams is a rigid approach that denies schools the flexibility to respond to the differing athletic interests of men and women. 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. at 901, but also that a second element-unmet interest-is present, id., meaning that the underrepresented gender has not been fully and effectively accommodated by the institution's present athletic program, id. 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 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. Although we decline Brown's invitation to find that the district court's remedy was an abuse of discretion, we do find that the district court erred in substituting its own specific relief in place of Brown's statutorily permissible proposal to comply with Title IX by cutting men's teams until substantial proportionality was achieved. The preliminary injunction issued by the district court in Cohen I, 809 F.Supp. Instead, this approach freezes that disparity by law, thereby disadvantaging further the underrepresented gender. 1. While they point to Congress' decision to delegate authority to the relevant agencies, this does not amount to a genuine-that is, not hypothesized or invented in view of litigation, id. The reviewing court's mandate constitutes the law of the case on such issues of law as were actually considered and decided by the appellate court, or as were necessarily inferred from the disposition on appeal. Commercial Union Ins. at 202, 97 S.Ct. 1192, 51 L.Ed.2d 360 (1977), which has not been explicitly overruled. Second, Califano, unlike the instant case, contained an exceedingly persuasive justification for its gender-conscious state action. While we have acknowledged that there are exceptions to the law of the case doctrine, we have emphasized that the circumstances in which they apply are rare. the participation opportunities offered by an institution are measured by counting the actual participants on intercollegiate teams. Under these circumstances, the district court's finding that there are interested women able to compete at the university-funded varsity level, Cohen III, 879 F.Supp. Thus, to the extent that Brown challenges the statutory scheme itself, that challenge is foreclosed under the law of the case doctrine. 2755, 2762-63, 49 L.Ed.2d 651 (1976). v. Bell, 456 U.S. 512, 523 n. 13, 102 S.Ct. 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. This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply. Partially as a consequence of this, participation rates of women are far below those of men.). Brown's talismanic incantation of affirmative action has no legal application to this case and is not helpful to Brown's cause. The Policy Interpretation was designed specifically for intercollegiate athletics.12 44 Fed.Reg. Virginia drastically revise[d] our established standards for reviewing sex-based classifications. Id. at 71,418). at 897. of Educ., 897 F.Supp. 17. Brown claims error in certain evidentiary rulings made during the trial and in the district court's order of specific relief in place of Brown's proposed compliance plan. Under Brown's interpretation of the three-part test, there can never be a remedy for a violation of Title IX's equal opportunity mandate. Cir. The right to injunctive relief under Title IX appears to have been impliedly accepted by the Supreme Court in Franklin. at 2274, which requires that [p]arties who seek to defend gender-based government action must demonstrate an exceedingly persuasive justification for that action, id. 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. 2282, 2293, 60 L.Ed.2d 870 (1979); Kirchberg v. Feenstra, 450 U.S. 455, 461, 101 S.Ct. 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. See Cohen II, 991 F.2d at 895; Cohen III, 879 F.Supp. See Adarand, 515 U.S. 200, 115 S.Ct. This conclusion is consistent with Cohen II, which states that a school may achieve compliance by reducing opportunities for the overrepresented gender. at 71,417). 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. See Cohen II, 991 F.2d at 901 ([T]here is no need to search for analogies where, as in the Title IX milieu, the controlling statutes and regulations are clear.). 578, 584 (W.D.Pa. Brown offers remarkably little in the way of analysis or authority to support its blithe contention that we are free to disregard Cohen II in disposing of this appeal. Ready, set, go. 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. See, e.g., United States v. Paradise, 480 U.S. 149, 107 S.Ct. Id. E.g., United States v. Paradise, 480 U.S. at 166 n. 16, 107 S.Ct. We have also recognized that this exception may apply in those rare situations where newly emergent authority, although not directly controlling, nevertheless offers a convincing reason for believing that the earlier panel, in light of the neoteric developments, would change its course. Id. Of course, a remedy that requires an institution to cut, add, or elevate the status of athletes or entire teams may impact the genders differently, but this will be so only if there is a gender-based disparity with respect to athletics opportunities to begin with, which is the only circumstance in which prong three comes into play. The district court also summarized the history of athletics at Brown, finding, inter alia, that, while nearly all of the men's varsity teams were established before 1927, virtually all of the women's varsity teams were created between 1971 and 1977, after Brown's merger with Pembroke College. The plaintiff class comprises all present, future, and potential Brown University women students who participate, seek to participate, and/or are deterred from participating in intercollegiate athletics funded by Brown. Adarand overruled Metro Broadcasting to the extent that Metro Broadcasting is inconsistent with Adarand's holding that all racial classifications, imposed by whatever federal, state, or local government actor, must be analyzed by a reviewing court under strict scrutiny. Adarand, 515U.S. 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. . In its decision in Cohen II, this court recognized and, indeed, emphasized the fact that its holding was only preliminary. The plan focuses only on University-funded sports, ignoring the long history of successful donor-funded student teams. at 189 n. 6. 1195, 1199, 67 L.Ed.2d 428 (1981); Hogan, 458 U.S. at 724, 102 S.Ct. The factual problem presented in affirmative action cases is, Does the evidence support a finding of discrimination such that race- or gender-conscious remedial measures are appropriate? We find these multiple indicia of reliability and specificity to be sufficient to answer that question in the affirmative. at 203 n. 36. at 211. In response, appellees cite Kelley v. Board of Trustees, 35 F.3d 265 271 (1994), for the proposition that the three-prong test does not constitute a quota, because it does not require any educational institution to grant preferential or disparate treatment to the gender underrepresented in that institution's athletic program. This difficulty was recognized in Cohen II, which stated that the mere fact that there are some female students interested in a sport does not ipso facto require the school to provide a varsity team in order to comply with the third benchmark. Cohen II 991 F.2d at 898. 1681(b). 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. 2475, 2491, 132 L.Ed.2d 762 (1995) (compliance with federal antidiscrimination laws cannot justify race-based districting where the challenged district was not reasonably necessary under a constitutional reading and application of those laws) (citing Shaw v. Reno, 509 U.S. 630, 653-54, 113 S.Ct. 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. Brown v. Board of Education, 347 U.S. 483 (1954) - Amicus curiae for Oliver Brown; . The regulation at 34 C.F.R. In this case, however, the record before the prior panel was sufficiently developed and the facts necessary to shape the proper legal matrix [we]re sufficiently clear, Cohen II, 991 F.2d at 904, and nothing in the record subsequently developed at trial constitutes substantially different evidence that might undermine the validity of the prior panel's rulings of law. 978, 1001 (D.R.I.1992) ("Cohen I "). at 5. Notwithstanding the requirements of paragraph (a) of this section, a recipient may operate or sponsor 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. The court stayed this part of the order pending appeal and further ordered that, in the interim, the preliminary injunction prohibiting Brown from eliminating or demoting any existing women's varsity team would remain in effect. Under the district court's interpretation, a school facing budgetary constraints must, in order to comply with prong two, increase the opportunities available to the underrepresented gender, even if it cannot afford to do so. Cohen v. Brown University. In addition to the above reasons for considering the merits of this appeal, it is important to note that Cohen II was an appeal from a preliminary injunction. This action was taken to ensure that the Order was final for purposes of this court's jurisdiction, and to expedite the appeal process.
