Supreme Court Rejects Brown's Appeal on Women in Sports.
Naughton, Jim
Chronicle of Higher Education, v43 n34 pA45-A46 May 2 1997
The Supreme Court will not hear the Brown University (Rhode Island) appeal in "Brown vs. Cohen," letting stand rulings that the university had violated Title IX of the 1972 Education Amendments by cutting financial support for women's volleyball and gymnastics teams. Advocates for women's athletics see the court's refusal to intervene as decisive. (MSE)
