WASHINGTON — Female
ducators have scored a signifi-
int victory in the Supreme
lourt that may give them a help-
ig hand in fighting bias against
omen in the teaching field.
The high court ruled, 6-3,
fonday that Title IX — one of
ic most important federal tools
> combat sex discrimination in
ducation — covers not only
dmissions, scholarships and
ther student benefits, out also
mployment practices.
Margaret Kohn, a lawyer
ith the National Women’s Law
Center in Washington, called
ic ruling a very important vic-
>ry, but the decision also con-
uned curbs that narrowed its
objections and kept the workers’
lawsuits alive.
But while doing a good turn
for women in education and the
Mississippi black workers, the
{ ‘ustices delivered a potential set-
>ack on another job discrimina
tion front.
On a 5-4 vote, they ruled
against an appeal brought by a
New York engineer who said he
was fired and denied reemploy
ment by his company because he
is Polish and Jewish.
The decision, which declares
a person who loses a discrimina
tion suit in state courts generally
cannot then take it to federal
court, could make it significantly
more difficult to pursue job bias
complaints in federal court.
In the Title IX case, Justice
Sandra Day O’Connor voted
with the majority on the side of
women’s rights activists in one of
her first high court tests on a
women’s issue.
Dissenting were Chief Justice
Warren Burger and Justices
Lewis Powell and William Rehn-
quist.
'fide IX, part of the 1972
Education Amendments, was a
major step by Congress to out
law sex discrimination in educa
tional programs that receive
federal funds. It allows the gov
ernment to investigate alleged
sex discrimination by a school
and cut off federal funds for
violations.
Under regulations overseen
by the Education Department,
Title IX also is used to investi
gate sex bias in employment by
educational institutions.
Monday’s test case was
brought by school districts in
North Haven and Trumbull,
Conn., which both argued Title
United Pi
IX was never meant to covered pALLAS
ployment practices. nbush goi
They were cited for alleged Lfi re , It
discriminating against a feiralT
teacher, who was not rehiredal]
ter a one-year maternity lea\
di
and a guidance counselor, w
contended she was required
do typing and errand-rum
her male colleagues were not.

The decision allows the gov-

ation in private and public edu-
ational programs — from pre-

?vel — but only in those specific
trhool programs and activities
aat receive federal funding.
The justices also had good

lack workers in Mississippi with

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Seven
vomen dedicated to the passage
>f the Equal Rights Amendment
ire going hungry to give law-
nakers in the key target state of
llinois some food for thought.
The group, made up of ERA
.upporters from across the na-
ion, ate “last supper” leftovers
Vlonday night in preparation
or the hunger strike.
The women said their fast is a
irst in the fight for the ERA. Six
jf the women pledged to live
mly on water. One promised to
diet on juice. They said they
were prepared for a long fast ,
put have no idea when it will
end.
“I think it’s going to make
visible a whole new level of se
riousness ... It’s an attempt to
move them (legislators) in a very
personal way,” Maureen Fiedler
of Lockport, N.Y., said.
“This takes an in-depth com-
nitment. It’s not like a volun-
eer, ‘you take a leaflet’ thing.”
In Houston, Pulitzer-prize
winning columnist Ellen Good-
nan Monday said she was not
optimistic the ERA would pass
within the next 44 days but she
disputed suggestions failure of
:he constitutional amendment
might demoralize the women’s
movement.
“In every race across the
country we will ask politicians
Are you for us or agin’ us?”’ she
told the League of Women Vo
ters convention. “I suspect they
are going to regret it didn’t pass
before.”
The Illinois fasters said they
hope their abstinence from food
may convince legislators in Illi
nois — a key state targeted by
the National Organization of
Women — to pass the ERA be
fore the June 30 deadline.
Three more states must ratify
by the deadline for it to become
law. But the ERA supporters
said Illinois is the biggest chal
lenge because it requires a three-
fifths majority — rather than
simple majority — of the Legisl
ature.
