Former athletic director Eve Atkinson's suit against Lafayette College hinged on a novel theory --- that her firing violated Title IX because it was in retaliation for her complaints about gender inequity in sports program funding. After her case was dismissed by the district court, her appeal to the 3rd Circuit was put on hold when the U.S. Supreme Court took up a case that presented the same question. In light of that high court decision, the circuit has now ruled that Atkinson's claim must be revived.

When Eve Atkinson filed suit against Lafayette College in 2001, her case hinged on a novel theory — that she had been fired in retaliation for complaining about gender inequity in the funding of the college’s sports programs.
Her lawyers — Alan B. Epstein and Jennifer L. Myers of Spector Gadon & Rosen — argued that the firing violated Title IX, the federal law that mandates equal access to sports programs.
