Last week, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit ruled that Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 does not provide an implied right of action for sex discrimination in employment. This decision deepens an existing split among circuit courts. This issue came before the Eleventh Circuit on a consolidated appeal of two claims. The first was a lawsuit brought by an art professor at Augusta University who was found responsible for sexual harassment under the school’s Title IX policy.
