Though Radcliffe has since changed its tune,Radcliffe College President Linda S. Wilson saidin December that the Bunting was not aneducational program, suggesting that Title IX didnot apply.
Conversely, Radcliffe now argues that seminarsand colloquia run by Bunting fellows are open toall, men and women alike.
However, according to Cohen, this in itselfinvites a legal interpretation which could bepotentially damning. Teaching both male and femaleundergraduates gives the Bunting an educationalcomponent and at the same time removes itsprotection under the Title IX exemption forall-women undergraduate college programs.
A formal ruling on the Bunting's compliancewith Title IX could come only if an aggrievedparty decided to actually file a complaint withthe federal government.
`The Bunting exists in an obviously ambiguousstatus in respect to Title IX," Cohen says. "Therecent trend now suggests that Title IX wouldapply--it seems to me that it should apply."
