Approved for CLE credit in the following jurisdictions: [list under construction].
The course discusses the athletics provisions issued under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and several state-law equivalents, particularly the controversy over Title IX's so-called "Three-Part Test" and the use of new regulatory guidance to alter prior regulations or guidance. The course covers the following areas:
- Outlines the various statutory and regulatory provisions relevant to athletics programs under Title IX;
- Federal agencies' regulatory powers to implement civil rights laws;
- Administrative-procedure laws on agencies supplanting regulations and prior guidance with new guidance;
- Federal agencies' sovereign immunity from direct challenges to their regulations and guidance;
- Whether and when Title IX's implied private right of action and §1983 authorize athletics-based litigation against schools; and
- Administrative enforcement of federal civil rights laws and regulations.
The course is presented by Larry Joseph, counsel to various athletic groups challenging the Three-Part Test in litigation against the U.S. Department of Education and its officers.
