Good points, Peggy. You are entirely correct. The one connection
between the two statutes is that Title IX included a provision which
removed the exclusion of educational institutions from the potential
defendants in a Title VII suit. Before Title IX, employees of
educational institutions could NOT bring discrimination suits under
Title VII. Very weird and blatantly discriminatory, but it colleges at
the time just didn't want women faculty. Kristen Galles, Equity Legal
