According to the statute's senate sponsor, Title IX was intended to. We find that the first part of the test is satisfied. In United States v. Virginia, 518 U.S. 515, 116 S.Ct. It would remain under monitoring today. 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. B. Id. In the 23 years that have since elapsed, this position has never commanded a majority of the Court, and has never been adopted by this court. Cohen v. Brown University. Thirty years ago, a group of female athletes sued Brown University in a landmark case (Cohen v.Brown University) that helped paved the way for women to gain equal footing with men in sports through Title IX.One of the plaintiffs was Lisa Kaplowitz, a 17-year-old star gymnast who testified about the opportunities she lost when the program was initially cut and the unfairness of that decision. In Fullilove, a plurality of the Court applied a standard subsequently acknowledged to be intermediate scrutiny, see Metro Broadcasting, 497 U.S. at 564, 110 S.Ct. Brown's argument that the Supreme Court's recent decision in Adarand Constr., Inc. v. Pena, 515 U.S. 200, 115 S.Ct. Brown also fails to recognize that Title IX's remedial focus is, quite properly, not on the overrepresented gender, but on the underrepresented gender; in this case, women. According to the district court, Brown's athletics program violates prong three because members of the proportionately underrepresented sex have demonstrated interest sufficient for a university-funded varsity team that is not in fact being funded. at ----, 116 S.Ct. 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. It is not necessary to equate race and gender to see that the logic of Adarand-counseling that we focus on the categories and justifications proffered rather than the labels attached-applies in the context of gender. at 2117). And if compliance with Title IX is to be measured through this sort of analysis, it is only practical that schools be given some clear way to establish that they have satisfied the requirements of the statute. at 71,413 n. 1. 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. While the Policy Interpretation covers other areas, this litigation focuses on the Effective Accommodation section, which interprets 34 C.F.R. at 12. Establishing that a school is moving inexorably closer to satisfying a requirement that demands statistical balancing can only be done by demonstrating an improvement in the statistical balance. at 1176 (citation omitted). The regulation at issue in this case, 34 C.F.R. It seems to me that a quota with an exception for situations in which there are insufficient interested students to allow the school to meet it remains a quota. After all, the district court itself stated that one of the compliance options available to Brown under Title IX is to demote or eliminate the requisite number of men's positions. Cohen III, 879 F.Supp. Dees asked civil rights leader Julian Bond to serve as president, a largely honorary position; he resigned in 1979 but remained on the board . 106.41(c)(1) (1995), regardless of its performance with respect to other Title IX areas. I believe that the district court's interpretation of the Policy Interpretation's three-prong test poses serious constitutional difficulties. 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. at 190 n. 14. Brown violated Title IX in 2020 when it eliminated 11 sports denied, 510 U.S. 1004, 114 S.Ct. 2021), cert. 17. Nor did Brown satisfy prong two. at ----, 116 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. 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 the time of Cohen v. Brown University, 991 F.2d 888 (1st Cir. 118 Cong.Rec. Horner, 43 F.3d at 273 n. 6 (citing Cohen v. Brown Univ., 991 F.2d 888, 896 n. 10 (1st Cir.1993)). Brown contends that the district court misconstrued and misapplied the three-part test. denied, 510 U.S. 1043, 114 S.Ct. 1946, 1961, 60 L.Ed.2d 560 (1979). As the prior panel recognized, while the question of full and effective accommodation of athletics interests and abilities is potentially a complicated issue where plaintiffs seek to create a new team or to elevate to varsity status a team that has never competed at the varsity level, no such difficulty is presented here, where plaintiffs seek to reinstate what were successful university-funded teams right up until the moment the teams were demoted.16 Cohen II, 991 F.2d at 904; see also Cohen I, 809 F.Supp. 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. Under such conditions, a school may be unable to succeed under the second prong because there may not be enough interested female students to achieve a continuing increase in the number of female participants. It remains a quota because the school is forced to admit every female applicant until it reaches the requisite proportion. 1681(b) (West 1990). At issue in this appeal is the proper interpretation of the first of these, the so-called three-part test,7 which inquires as follows: (1)Whether intercollegiate level participation opportunities for male and female students are provided in numbers substantially proportionate to their respective enrollments; or, (2)Where the members of one sex have been and are underrepresented among intercollegiate athletes, whether the institution can show a history and continuing practice of program expansion which is demonstrably responsive to the developing interest and abilities of the members of that sex; or. A. The regulation at 34 C.F.R. 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. Instead, the law requires that, absent a demonstration of continuing program expansion for the underrepresented gender under prong two of the three-part test, an institution must either provide athletics opportunities in proportion to the gender composition of the student body so as to satisfy prong one, or fully accommodate the interests and abilities of athletes of the underrepresented gender under prong three. 1764, 36 L.Ed.2d 583, and Croson, 488 U.S. 469, 109 S.Ct. 1681(b). 1419, ---------, 128 L.Ed.2d 89 (1994). 93-380, 88 Stat. 11. We must, as Brown urges, reexamine the Equal Protection challenge to the three-prong test as interpreted by the district court. By Arthur Bryant and Lori Bullock* Cohen v. Brown University, which the First Circuit just referred to as "This landmark Title IX case," started in April 1992, after the school stopped funding its varsity women's gymnastics and volleyball teams.Eleven female athletes, including Amy Cohen, Megan Hull, Lisa Stern Kaplowitz, Eileen Rocchio, and Jennifer Todd, fought back. at 3008. Cohen I, 809 F.Supp. At trial, Brown argued that, in order to succeed on prong one, plaintiffs bear the burden of proving that the percentage of women among varsity athletes is not substantially proportionate to the percentage of women among students interested in participating in varsity athletics. Cohen III, 879 F.Supp. See, e.g., Frank DeFord, The Women of Atlanta, Newsweek, June 10, 1996, at 62-71; Tharp, supra, at 33; Robert Kuttner, Vicious Circle of Exclusion, Washington Post, September 4, 1996, at A15. The district court's definition of athletics participation opportunities comports with the agency's own definition. Furthermore, such evidence is completely irrelevant where, as here, viable and successful women's varsity teams have been demoted or eliminated. Rather, the Seventh Circuit endorsed the test as one for compliance, in dismissing the plaintiff's claims. No costs on appeal to either party. In its decision in Cohen II, this court recognized and, indeed, emphasized the fact that its holding was only preliminary. 71,413, 71,414. Trades Council, 485 U.S. 568, 108 S.Ct. Thus, Title IX and Title VI share the same constitutional underpinnings. View Cohen v. Brown University. The Court in Adarand singled out Metro Broadcasting as a significant departure from much of the Equal Protection jurisprudence that had come before it, in part because it suggested that benign government race-conscious classifications should be treated less skeptically than others. As a Division I institution within the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) with respect to all sports but football, Brown participates at the highest level of NCAA competition.2 Cohen III, 879 F.Supp. First, we now have a full record before us and a set of well-defined legal questions presented by the appellant. 95-2205 in the Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. 44 Fed.Reg. at 993. In my view it is the result of the test, and not the number of steps involved, that should determine if a quota system exists. 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. Thus, we recite the facts as supportably found by the district court in the course of the bench trial on the merits in a somewhat abbreviated fashion. Cohen II, 991 F.2d at 903. 1681(a) (1988). at 2112. In Cohen v. California, 403 U.S. 15 (1971), the Supreme Court established that the government generally cannot criminalize the display of profane words in public places.. Cohen charged with beaching peace for wearing profane jacket. It is women and not men who have historically and who continue to be underrepresented in sports, not only at Brown, but at universities nationwide. at 204, 97 S.Ct. In view of the quota scheme adopted by the district court, and Congress' specific disavowal of any intent to require quotas as part of Title IX, appellees have not met their burden of showing an exceedingly persuasive justification for this gender-conscious exercise of government authority. at 202. Cohen v. Brown University, 101 F.3d 155 (1st. Co. v. Walbrook Ins. V. Strong, of Raleigh, for defendant. 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. Brown's interpretation of full and effective accommodation is simply not the law. Cohen III, 879 F.Supp. We cannot pretend that an interpretation of a statute that contains explicit categorization according to gender and that has intentional gender-conscious effect does not represent gender-based government action. During the same period, Brown's undergraduate enrollment comprised 5,722 students, of which 48.86% (2,796) were men and 51.14% (2,926) were women. Title IX is not an affirmative action statute; it is an anti-discrimination statute, modeled explicitly after another anti-discrimination statute, Title VI. [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. at 189. at 981. 1442, 94 L.Ed.2d 615 (1986) (upholding a temporary program authorizing a county agency to consider sex and race as factors in making promotions in order to achieve a statistically measurable improvement in the representation of women and minorities in major job classifications in which they had been historically underrepresented); Wygant v. Jackson Bd. This case presents the issue of the legality of a federal district court's determination, based upon adjudicated findings of fact, that a federal anti-discrimination statute has been violated, and of the statutory and constitutional propriety of the judicial remedy ordered to provide redress to plaintiffs with standing who have been injured by the violation. As a consequence of these demotions, all four teams lost, not only their university funding, but most of the support and privileges that accompany university-funded varsity status at Brown. 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 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. 2. at 189. how many athletic teams in Brown University by 1991? at ----, 116 S.Ct. 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. 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. 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. denied, 513 U.S. 1025, 115 S.Ct. The Policy Interpretation was designed specifically for intercollegiate athletics.12 44 Fed.Reg. And those characteristics are present here in spades. Finding that Brown's proposed compliance plan was not comprehensive and that it failed to comply with the opinion and order of Cohen III, the district court rejected the plan and ordered in its place specific relief consistent with Brown's stated objectives in formulating the plan. 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. Each prong of the Policy Interpretation's three-part test determines compliance in this manner. Moreover, Webster, which Cohen II cited along with Metro Broadcasting, was not overruled or in any way rendered suspect by Adarand. at 190. at 1195-96. The general provisions of the plan may be summarized as follows: (i) Maximum squad sizes for men's teams will be set and enforced. 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. A viable tennis team may require only a single player. It is also well established that an agency's construction of its own regulations is entitled to substantial deference. Martin v. Occupational Safety and Health Review Comm'n, 499 U.S. 144, 150, 111 S.Ct. 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. A recipient which operates or sponsors interscholastic, intercollegiate, club or intramural athletics shall provide equal athletic opportunity for members of both sexes. It is well established, however, that a decision of the Supreme Court, that is rendered between two appeals and is irreconcilable with the decision on the first appeal, must be followed on the second appeal. 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. 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. Since Cohen II, however, Metro Broadcasting has been overruled, at least in part. Had Congress intended to entrench, rather than change, the status quo-with its historical emphasis on men's participation opportunities to the detriment of women's opportunities-it need not have gone to all the trouble of enacting Title IX. at 314-16, 97 S.Ct. Robinson v Kilvert (1889) The defendants manufactured paper boxes in the cellar of a building which required hot and dry air. In criticizing another facet of Brown's plan, the district court pointed out that. See Linkletter v. Walker, 381 U.S. 618, 627, 85 S.Ct. To the extent that Brown assumes that Croson governs the issue of the sufficiency of the factual predicate required to uphold a federally mandated, benign race- or gender-based classification, that assumption is also unfounded. Thinx period underwear settles $4 million class action lawsuit after 'forever chemicals' that can cause fertility issues were found in high quantities near the CROTCH of its supposed 'organic and . While cognizant of differences between race-focused and gender-focused Equal Protection precedent, I nevertheless think that Adarand compels us to view so-called benign gender-conscious governmental actions under the same lens as any other gender-conscious governmental actions. 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. HEW apparently received an unprecedented 9,700 comments on the proposed Title IX athletics regulations, see Haffer v. Temple Univ. See Adarand, 515 U.S. 200, 115 S.Ct. The Court's 7-1 decision established the "separate but equal" doctrine. at 2294 (citations omitted). for Women v. Hogan, 458 U.S. 718, 725, 102 S.Ct. 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. Even under the individual rights theory of equal protection, reaffirmed in Adarand, 515 U.S. at ----, 115 S.Ct. As to prong three, the district court found that Brown had not fully and effectively accommodated the interest and ability of the underrepresented sex to the extent necessary to provide equal opportunity in the selection of sports and levels of competition available to members of both sexes. Id. No. Appellees argue that this claim is waived because Brown did not raise it in the district court. To read fully in an absolute sense would make the third prong virtually impossible to satisfy and, therefore, an irrelevant addition to the test. Sch., 503 U.S. 60, 76, 112 S.Ct. It is clearly in the best interest of both the male and the female athletes to have an increase in women's opportunities and a small decrease in men's opportunities, if necessary, rather than, as under Brown's plan, no increase in women's opportunities and a large decrease in men's opportunities. 5804 (1972) (remarks of Sen. Bayh); North Haven Bd. 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. The district court concluded, and the majority appears to agree, that Brown failed to satisfy prong two because merely reducing program offerings to the overrepresented gender does not constitute program expansion for the underrepresented gender. Majority Opinion at 166. 2997, 111 L.Ed.2d 445 (1990) (upholding a federal program requiring race-based preferences); City of Richmond v. J.A. Id. In concluding that the district court's interpretation and application of the three-part test creates a quota, Brown errs, in part, because it fails to recognize that (i) the substantial proportionality test of prong one is only the starting point, and not the conclusion, of the analysis; and (ii) prong three is not implicated unless a gender-based disparity with respect to athletics participation opportunities has been shown to exist. Id. for Women v. Hogan, 458 U.S. 718, 724, 102 S.Ct. Among the evidence submitted by Brown are: (i) admissions data showing greater athletic interest among male applicants than female applicants; (ii) college board data showing greater athletic interest and prior participation rates by prospective male applicants than female applicants; (iii) data from the Cooperative Institutional Research Program at UCLA indicating greater athletic interest among men than women; (iv) an independent telephone survey of 500 randomly selected Brown undergraduates that reveals that Brown offers women participation opportunities in excess of their representation in the pool of interested, qualified students; (v) intramural and club participation rates that demonstrate higher participation rates among men than women; (vi) walk-on and try-out numbers that reflect a greater interest among men than women; (vii) high school participation rates that show a much lower rate of participation among females than among males; (viii) the NCAA Gender Equity Committee data showing that women across the country participate in athletics at a lower rate than men. 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. at 463 (statistics exhibit a variety of shortcomings that seriously impugn their value to equal protection analysis); id. Id. 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. 1192, 1194-95, 51 L.Ed.2d 360 (1977); Frontiero v. Richardson, 411 U.S. 677, 684-86, 93 S.Ct. The preliminary injunction issued by the district court in Cohen I, 809 F.Supp. In contrast to the employment and admissions contexts, in the athletics context, gender is not an irrelevant characteristic. In Adarand, the Supreme Court held that all racial classifications must be analyzed under strict scrutiny. Adarand, 515 U.S. at ----, 115 S.Ct. See Miller v. Johnson, 515 U.S. 900, ----, 115 S.Ct. The processes take into account the nationally increasing levels of women's interests and abilities;b. Additionally, section 1681(a), a provision enacted by Congress as part of Title IX itself, casts doubt on the district court's reading of prong three. at 2275 (internal quotations omitted) (emphasis added). See Cohen II, 991 F.2d at 901. I see no possible justification for this interpretation-the regulation is intended to protect against discrimination, not to promote athletics on college campuses. (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. & Constr. Bob Jones University v. United States; City of Akron v. Akron Center for Reproductive Health, 462 U.S. 416 (1983). During the 1990-91 academic year, Brown fielded 16 men's and 15 women's varsity teams on which 566 men and 328 women participated. Co., 74 F.3d 317, 322 (1st Cir.1996) (internal quotations omitted); see also Narragansett Indian Tribe v. Guilbert, 934 F.2d 4, 6 (1st Cir.1991). Brown, on the other hand, argues that prong three is satisfied when (1) the interests and abilities of members of the proportionately underrepresented gender (2) are accommodated to the same degree as the proportionately overrepresented gender. T.B., 511 U.S. 127, 136-37, 114 S.Ct. at 19-20. See, e.g., Mike Tharp et al., Sports crazy! We reject both premises.17 Brown's implicit reliance on Adarand as contrary intervening controlling authority that warrants a departure from the law of the case doctrine is misplaced because, while Adarand does make new law, the law it makes is wholly irrelevant to the disposition of this appeal, and, even if Adarand did apply, it does not mandate the level of scrutiny to be applied to gender-conscious government action. at 205. In disputes over the representation of women in athletic programs, it is inevitable that statistical evidence will be relevant. Loving v. Virginia, 388 U.S. 1, 8-9, 87 S.Ct. In November 1996, we won a ruling in federal court that Brown University violated Title IX when it demoted its women's gymnastics and volleyball teams from university-funded to donor-funded varsity status. After rejecting Brown's proposed plan, but bearing in mind Brown's stated objectives, the district court fashioned its own remedy: I have concluded that Brown's stated objectives will be best served if I design a remedy to meet the requirements of prong three rather than prong one. 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.
