      I believe the recruit in the article ended up at Lindenwood....

        Interesting. Think they have any chance of prevailing?

          I don't believe it will be successful. I doubt the Sue would have done this without full confidence from their own legal council that is was an airtight situation, knowing this move could easily end up getting the response it is getting now. I question the timing of it, a year plus afterwards, and how will these young ladies pay for this? I think they made their point when the Sue shut the program down (with full support of the entire women's college hockey community), big picture this could be a lot of money spend on both sides for no gain.

            UND has done a number of legally dubious things over the years, so I'm not sure that their counsel having confidence that their case is airtight ought to inspire the same level of confidence in everyone else. That said, I'm dubious that this case would win at trial, on two grounds. The first is that I don't see how the remedy sought, reinstating the UND women's hockey program, would address any damages suffered by the plaintiffs. They've moved on and are playing hockey elsewhere, and will likely be out of eligibility by the time the case would be resolved. Once that happens, the case would probably be ruled moot and dismissed. There are occasions when a case is allowed to continue in such circumstances, but it's rare.

            The second is based upon this sentence in the article: "Title IX does not require schools to offer particular sports or the same sports, but it requires that schools “effectively accommodate” student interests and abilities." The U.S. Supreme Court has held that this part of Title IX is not a requirement that schools "effectively accommodate" the interests and abilities of each individual student, but rather that they must provide equal accommodation for men and women in general. Obviously, you can't draw strong conclusions about plaintiffs' overall legal reasoning from a brief newspaper article, but they'd have to have something more than this.

            I suspect that the intention here isn't to take this to trial, but rather to use the filing to pressure the university to sit down and talk about reinstating the program.

              Maybe we could get the Whioux poster that came up with "17" to comment on the chances.

                Agreed, but didn't this discussion already take place and isn't this what was needed?

                            Some broad thoughts:

                            Yes, you all are right that Title IX does NOT require all interests to be effectively accommodated. It is the third prong of the three-prong test. It's clear to me that UND has not been aiming for compliance by that prong. (Though the failing of the third prong IS a necessary condition for a Title IX violation)

                            Without a doubt UND was seeking compliance through the first-prong, substantive proportionality. In the Title IX case law, merely achieving proportionality has typically been considered a safe harbor. Timothy A mentions that UND's lawyers must have believed the case is "airtight" -- this is likely why.

                            Nonetheless I believe such a conclusion by UND's lawyers is misguided. The ruling would hinge on the meaning of "substantive proportionality." As I wrote in my letter to Herald last year (link below), cutting the flagship women's sport for a school is unprecedented. If there were any time such that proportionality would fail to be "substantive" I believe this is it, and it sounds from coverage that the students' legal team is using similar reasoning.

                            Regarding
                            The first is that I don't see how the remedy sought, reinstating the UND women's hockey program, would address any damages suffered by the plaintiffs. They've moved on and are playing hockey elsewhere, and will likely be out of eligibility by the time the case would be resolved. Once that happens, the case would probably be ruled moot and dismissed. There are occasions when a case is allowed to continue in such circumstances, but it's rare.
                            It's a fair point to raise, but I find it reasonable to argue that there is significant value in the continuation of your women's hockey program and growing its alumni network.
