Earlier this month, the Supreme Court heard oral argument on whether Title VII of the Civil Rights Act covers sexuality and gender identification. Title VII, as you probably know, prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, and gender. However, there are currently no federal employment protections for sexuality and gender identification. ACS, OUTLaw, and PILA are excited to present a SCOTUS Debrief on the cases that are challenging whether or not Title VII should protect sexuality and gender identification. Professor Elizabeth Sepper will lead a discussion about the cases' histories, the oral argument at the Supreme Court, and then will open the floor for questions. Lunch will be provided.
