Season 3 Episode 5: Sex Discrimination in Public Schools and Universities - History and Background of Title IX - a podcast by Walter Haverfield LLP: Miriam and Lisa

Simply put, Title IX prohibits sex-based discrimination in public schools and universities. But this fascinating and broad law affects many diverse aspects of a school district's daily operations - from handling bullying and harassment allegations, to ensuring equity in athletic programming, addressing employment discrimination claims, as well as transgender issues.  How and why was this wide-reaching statute enacted? What is the role of the Office for Civil Rights in enforcing Title IX and why is this agency so controversial lately?  Join us for an in-depth conversation about the origins and history of Title IX, along with a look at some of the key decisions and guidance documents affecting school boards and universities.
For this episode, Miriam and Lisa are joined by Ben Chojnacki, an attorney at Walter Haverfield who often advises educational institutions about their Title IX obligations.  We practice law at Walter Haverfield in Cleveland Ohio and we welcome your suggestions and comments.
