Sports Update: Title IX

Friday, September 25, 2009

10:00am

Room 1312

Worrell Professional Center

Wake Forest University

The program will explore the requirements of Title IX, the effect it has had, both good and bad, on athletics, and how it is affecting individuals as well as colleges and organizations. The program is free and open to the public.

Wake Forest Law Professor Timothy Davis will give an introduction to Title IX followed by Glenn George from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill law school, who will discuss allegations of reverse discrimination in the implementation of Title IX's governing regulations. Also featured will be Barbara Osborne, associate professor in the exercise and sport science department of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Jill Pilgrim, general counsel for the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA). A roundtable forum of the speakers will conclude the program from noon to 1 pm.
