Description

A never-the-twain-shall-meet confrontation between an educator who believes that the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare's enforcement of Title IX of the Higher Education Act of 1972 constitutes a power grab against private colleges, and a government official who sees it as a minor imposition necessary to achieve equity between the sexes. JJ: "I think that what we're talking about is exercising your freedoms in such a way that assures somebody else's freedoms.... And if you're talking about the whole capability of an institution to provide equity, and in this instance sex equity, and ... at this point HEW is defining your scholarships as federal money, this is certainly the only way that Congress can influence education." GCR: "But you see, the question here isn't really influencing education in the sense of correcting an inequity. As I say, in four years of constant correspondence and all sorts of litigation there has never been a moment when HEW even alleged that there was an inequity. The issue here, and their insistence, is entirely a matter of control of our campus."
