'Separate but equal' revisited: the Detroit male academies case
Article Abstract:
The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan was right to enjoin the use of public funds to establish separate schools for African American males in Garrett v. Board of Education. Such institutions would violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and would fail to address the real problems confronting inner-city children and their access to a quality public school education. Future educational reforms must not be based on segregation, but must include student mentoring, teaching methods sensitive to poverty and racism, and funding of after-school activities.

Title IX and gender equity in college athletics: how honesty might avert a crisis
Article Abstract:
Some collegiate sports programs should be classified as 'businesses' rather than educational teams and thus excluded from Title IX gender equity requirements. The current Title IX test is based on an idealized conception that assumes that all collegiate athletics serve educational purposes. A more realistic approach that distinguishes between educational and profit-oriented sports would reduce some of the current problems that threaten to eliminate many athletic programs. Students participating in the sports designated as businesses would be treated as employees under Title IX.

Shooting for parity on the playing fields: courts seek formula for gender equality in college athletic programs under Title IX
Article Abstract:
The First Circuit's 1996 Brown University Title IX decision, which held the university discriminated against female students in its athletic programs, could ultimately have an adverse effect on women's college athletics. In light of the decision, financially-strapped schools may opt to cut programs for male students, rather than promote women's programs. Brown is petitioning the US Supreme Court to rule on the question of gender discrimination among college athletic programs.
