Share
Petition for certiorari denied on May 28, 2019
Docket No. Op. Below Argument Opinion Vote Author Term
18-658 3d. Cir. N/A N/A N/A N/A OT 2018

Issues: (1) Whether, given students’ constitutionally protected privacy interest in their partially clothed bodies, a public school has a compelling interest in authorizing students who believe themselves to be members of the opposite sex to use locker rooms and restrooms reserved exclusively for the opposite sex, and whether such a policy is narrowly tailored; and (2) whether the Boyertown policy constructively denies access to locker room and restroom facilities under Title IX “on the basis of sex,” 20 U.S.C. § 1681.
