Court Revises Opinion (but Keeps Key Findings) on Title IX at Davis

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit on Tuesday amended its ruling from February that revived a Title IX lawsuit against the University of California at Davis -- and the revised opinion maintains the key finding reviving the suit, saying that Davis had failed to submit sufficient evidence for a lower court to dismiss the suit. The suit -- under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 -- was brought by women whose participation on the wrestling team was ended, and focuses on the tests to determine whether a university is expanding athletic opportunities for women.
