Title IX may ban retaliation for complaints.(News Watch)(Brief Article)
When a coach complains that her or his women's team is being treated unfairly and illegally under Title IX, the federal law that requires gender equity in educational programs, too often the school's response is to penalize the coach by firing, demoting or ostracizing.
Last month the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to review a case of retaliation against a high school coach, which could have major implications for colleges as well. It will hear the case in its fall term that begins in October.
Roderick Jackson coached a girl's high school basketball team in Birmingham AL, and was fired for complaining that their facilities were inferior to those of the boys' team. He sued the Birmingham Board of Education in 2001, had his case dismissed, appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals in the 1[1.sup.th] circuit, and again was dismissed.
