TWIN CITIES ATTORNEY: UND NOT TITLE IX COMPLIANT
A Minneapolis attorney who represented two women hockey players in a Title IX lawsuit against St. Cloud State University says UND could be sued for noncompliance with gender equity laws if it does not institute a varsity women's hockey team.
I AM NOT AWARE, BASED ON WHAT I'VE SEEN AND HEARD, THAT UND WOULD HAVE ANY DEFENSE FOR A TITLE IX ACTION, SAID CHRIS MESSERLY, AN ATTORNEY WITH THE MINNEAPOLIS FIRM ROBINS, KAPLAN, MILLER & CIRESI
My understanding was that Women's Ice Hockey proponents were having conversations with this attorney. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but opinions aren't worth much when the law is applied.
