Bailey Glasser is the leading law firm using Title IX to win gender equity – equal participation opportunities, athletic financial aid, and treatment – for student-athletes across the country.
Overview
Title IX prohibits all educational institutions receiving federal funds from discriminating on the basis of sex. This includes almost all colleges and universities, public or private, and all public schools.
Bailey Glasser has won major, ground-breaking settlements for female student-athletes at numerous universities that announced they were eliminating women's varsity intercollegiate athletic teams or refused to add new women’s varsity teams: Brown University, the College of William & Mary, the University of North Carolina at Pembroke, East Carolina University, Dartmouth College, the University of St. Thomas, La Salle University, Dickinson College, Florida State University, and the University of Central Oklahoma.
Bailey Glasser also won a historic settlement—the first Title IX victory ever for male student-athletes—with Clemson University after the school became the first facing class actions suits by both its male and female student-athletes for violating Title IX by discriminating against them in different ways.
In all cases, Bailey Glasser and its co-counsel reached settlements enforcing Title IX – the federal law prohibiting gender discrimination by educational institutions receiving federal funds – and requiring the schools to reinstate and/or add teams.
Due to our experience working within the law, we are well versed in the policies, guidelines, and trends that impact Title IX accusations, investigations, and decisions. We know what it takes to bring a case to the forefront and obtain a successful resolution for students affected.
Our team is led by Cary Joshi, our firm's Commercial & Environmental Practice Group Leader (and former NCAA Division I soccer player), and partner Joshua I. Hammack. Both are located in the firm's Washington, D.C. office.
