Location: Compadres Rio Grille, 505 Lincoln Ave, Napa, CA 94558 Cost: $20.00 Plaintiff to speak to Napa County AAUW Legal Advocacy Fund litigant Arezou Mansourian talks about her Title IX case NAPA—Napa County Branch of AAUW invites the public to hear the case of Arezou Mansourian, an AAUW Legal Advocacy Fund litigant, vs. Regents of University of California, Saturday, March 20, 11:30 a.m. at Compadres Rio Grille. Taco Salad lunch (chicken, beef or vegetable) for $20 is available with advance RSVP to Beth Bywater, 1700 Trower Ave., Napa. The case has the potential to make clear that the denial of equal athletic participation opportunities and equal athletic financial assistance opportunities is in violation of Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972 that prohibits sex discrimination in education. Mansourian was a member of the UC Davis wrestling team with three other women. They trained, competed and were scholarship recipients while participating on the collegiate team, as other women wrestlers previously had been. When the participation of women was terminated, these student athletes lost their scholarships, insurance and other benefits while their male counterparts did not. For information call Linda Rominger, 707-253-1223. AAUW advances equity for women and girls through advocacy, education, and research. In principle and in practice, AAUW values and supports diversity. There shall be no barriers to full participation in this organization on the basis of gender, race, creed, age, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, or class.
