Abstract

This Note provides a survey of the current state of Title IX law as applied to anti-male bias lawsuits and suggests how courts should apply Twombly’s plausibility standard to anti-male bias claims going forward. Part I of this Note provides an overview of sexual violence on college campuses and the history of Title IX regulations and jurisprudence. Part II offers a brief history of Title IX anti-male bias lawsuits, examines the structure of anti-male bias lawsuits, and analyzes the various pleading standards applied by courts. Part III lays out the types of facts pled by Title IX anti-male bias plaintiffs and discusses what facts should be viewed as sufficient to meet Twombly’s plausibility standard. In Part IV, this Note looks at the future of Title IX anti-male bias lawsuits in light of new federal regulations and discusses the implications of these lawsuits for claimants and respondents in campus Title IX proceedings.
