Title IX, the federal civil rights law passed in 1972, was a landmark piece of legislation that prohibited sexual discrimination in educational institutions across America. Enforced by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights (OCR), Title IX has helped level the playing field by ensuring that students of all genders receive access to scholarships, funding, sports, academic coursework, and protection from sexual harassment, among other things. Three recent lawsuits in which male students (John Does) who were accused of and disciplined for sexual misconduct argue that they were denied due process by their universities because of unfair Title IX policies. The accused male students say they were denied their due process rights, they weren't allowed to cross-examine their accusers, and they were not given a live hearing before a neutral fact-finder. Significantly, the plaintiffs in these cases are seeking to have their cases certified as class-action suits. This article explores the question: What is the impact of a class-action certification for colleges and universities not named in the suits?
