‘Burdens’ for organizations that receive federal financial assistance
Lloyd Hitoshi Mayer, a Notre Dame Law School professor, unpacked those compliance burdens in a recent article. The term “federal financial assistance” is used in a number of anti-discrimination statutes, including Title VI and Title IX, Mayer explains.

Baltimore Lutheran High School Association, 2022 WL 2869041) While the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ultimately rejected that conclusion, Mayer said the district court ruling is more notable when viewed in a broader context.
