NOT MUCH THAT’S NEW IN THIS STORY IN THE KNOXVILLE NEWS-SENTINEL, BUT THE NEWS IS THAT NOW IT’S IN THE KNOXVILLE NEWS-SENTINEL: UT investigating sexual harassment claim after student gets zero on quiz.

And if you want to understand how a single-sentence provision designed to prevent discrimination against women’s athletic teams can be turned into something that’s used to punish a student for writing down a name that might be that of an obscure porn star, read Robert Shibley’s Twisting Title IX, a short, clear explanation of this how insanity came about.
