NCLA Wins Appeal in Cornell Title IX Case; NCLA's SCOTUS Amicus Brief On Nondelegation Doctrine

NCLA Wins Appeal in Cornell University Title IX Case

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuitrecently vacated the dismissal of the Title IX and defamation claims in Dr. Mukund Vengalattore v. Cornell University and the U.S. Department of Education. The Court held that university discrimination against faculty on the basis of sex is subject to suit under Title IX. The majority and concurring opinions expressed shock at the lack of due process and general treatment of Dr. Mukund Vengalattore by Cornell University. Judge José Cabranes, in his concurrence, noted that Cornell’s actions (if proved at trial) represent “deeply troubling aspects of contemporary university procedures to adjudicate complaints under Title IX” and “signal a retreat from the foundational principle of due process.”

NCLA’s SCOTUS Amicus Brief On Nondelegation Doctrine

NCLA has filed an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in the cases consolidated with Haaland, et al. v. Brackeen, et al. NCLA is urging the Supreme Court to declare that the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) divests Congress’s lawmaking function to an entity outside of the federal government (i.e., Indian tribes), which Article I, Sec. 1 of the U.S. Constitution forbids.
