Solano Community College Hosts “In Conversation with Pamela Price, 50 Years of Title IX”
Fairfield, CA – On Thursday, September 8, 2022 at 5:00pm, Solano Community College will be hosting a FREE talk with Pamela Price, J.D., one of the nine people who shaped Title IX and educational equity. The event, “In Conversation with Pamela Price, 50 Years of Title IX”, will be held at the Solano Community College Theatre (Building 1200), 4000 Suisun Valley Road, Fairfield, CA 94534. There will be free parking in lot 2.
Price will be speaking on joining the 1977 landmark case of Alexander (Price) v. Yale, 459 F.Supp. 1 (D.Conn. 1979) 631 F. 2d 178 (2nd Cir. 1980), the first case to challenge sexual harassment as a form of sex discrimination in education. The Courts dismissed all five other plaintiffs and Price was the only plaintiff to proceed to trial in January 1979, in the U.S. District Court in New Haven, Connecticut. In June of 1979, the Court rendered a verdict in favor of Yale. In September 1980, the Second Circuit affirmed the District Court’s decision in favor of Yale. Nonetheless, the case established that sexual harassment in education constitutes illegal sex discrimination.
Solano Community College welcomes all to attend this inspirational talk by Price discussing a groundbreaking event that shaped our nation.
