Supreme Court to hear Title IX-based appeal
The Supreme Court agreed Monday to hear an appeal from a former girls’ basketball coach who claims he was fired when he complained that his players got second-class facilities and less money than the boys’ teams.
Roderick Jackson wants to sue under Title IX, the 1972 federal law best known for greatly expanding women’s participation in sports. The law’s reach is actually much broader, barring sex discrimination in “any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.”
At issue is whether Title IX allows lawsuits alleging retaliation against people who, like Jackson, try to make sure that schools do not shortchange women athletes or students. It is already settled that students, parents or others can sue under Title IX to correct alleged inequalities.
The Bush administration recently urged the high court to take the case. The administration’s top Supreme Court lawyer urged the court to rule that Jackson can sue under Title IX, even though he himself suffered no sex discrimination.
