Abstract

In Jackson v. Birmingham Board of Education, the United States Supreme Court departed from its current trend of hostility toward implying rights of action in federal statutes. In Jackson the Court held that there is an implied private right of action for retaliation under Title IX when a whistleblower is retaliated against for complaining about sex discrimination. As a result, the Court increased the protections to employees and students of funding recipients who report instances of sex discrimination.
