The 37 words were largely unnoticed when they were slipped into the Education Amendments of 1972, but Title IX, authored by the late Indiana Sen. Birch Bayh, is credited with igniting a revolution in the lives of American women.
To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the provision, the Historical Society of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana will be hosting a panel discussion to take a look at the history of the law, its current application and how the law may be applied in the future.
The event, “Title IX: Past, Present, Future,” will be from 2 to 3:30 p.m. Oct 20 at the Birch Bayh Federal Building & U.S. Courthouse, 46 E. Ohio St., Indianapolis. Ninety minutes of CLE credit has been approved.
As part of the discussion, Evan Bayh, former Indiana governor and U.S. senator, will be talking about his father’s contributions to the creation and passage of Title IX. The other panelists will be Julie Roe Lach, commissioner of the Horizon league; Brooke Barnett, provost and vice president for academic affairs at Butler University; and Stevie Pactor, staff attorney at the ACLU of Indiana.
Kelleigh Irwin Fagan, partner in the sports law and business services practice groups at Church Church Hittle & Antrim, will moderate the discussion.
The Title IX celebration is one of the three events in the 15th annual Court History and Continuing Legal Education Symposium. All the programs will take place at the federal courthouse in Indianapolis with attendees allowed to participate either in-person or by Zoom.
