United States' Statement Of Interest
The United States District Court filing for the District of Massachusetts in the case of Margaret Czerwienski, Lilia Kilburn, and Amulya Mandava v. Harvard University and the President and Fellows of Harvard College. The United States District Court argues that retaliation for reporting sex discrimination is prohibited under Title IX and that institutions can be liable for employee actions if these constitute official acts or if the institution is deliberately indifferent to known retaliation. The United States District Court counters Harvard's claim of non-liability for employee actions by citing relevant case law and Supreme Court precedents, emphasizing that recipients of federal funds can be held liable for retaliation by their employees.The document urges the court to apply established legal standards to the plaintiffs' Title IX retaliation claims to protect individuals reporting sex discrimination.Files
