Volume 125, Issue 10 dailytarheel.com Friday, March 10, 2017 Hicks headlines in UNC win Trans rights case sent back to appeals Title IX implications are unclear without Obama-era guidance. By Hanna Grimm Staff Writer

The U.S. Supreme Court sent a case dealing with bathroom protections back to a lower court Monday — after the Donald Trump administration rescinded protections for transgender students last month. The case, G.G. v. Gloucester County School Board, will now be reheard by the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. Gavin Grimm, a transgender student from Virginia and the plaintiff of the case, was denied access to the bathroom matching his gender identity in a public school in 2014. Before guidance from the Obama administration — which extended Title IX protections to include transgender students — was removed by the Trump presidency, Grimm’s case was a “slam dunk,” said Maxine Eichner, a UNC law professor. “Essentially what the G.G. case had said is that courts have to defer to the Department of Education’s interpretation of Title IX, and that interpretation clearly said that trans youth have to be allowed access to the bathroom that comports with their gender identity,” she said. DTH/ALEX KORMANN The question now becomes whether North Carolina forward Isaiah Hicks (4) works on a Miami defender in the quarterfinals of the ACC Tournament in Brooklyn on Thursday. Title IX protections against sex discrimination extend to transgender students, Eichner said. The senior scored 19 points Thursday against Miami “The issue is whether the language of the prohibition on sex discrimination in By Jeremy Vernon North Carolina men’s basketball through his routine nine times. ing about what he’s doing too fact guarantees trans youth the right to Assistant Sports Editor team, he shot a combined 61.3 And nine times the ball swished much.
