The Case of Baylor University
Patty Crawford, the Title IX coordinator at Baylor from November 2014 to October 2016, was hired to coordinate the institution’s Title IX compliance when this case took place (Baylor University, n.d.).

WikiLeaks published more than 250,000 secret U.S. diplomatic cables in September 2011, which included requests made by diplomats to gather intelligence information for espionage. This was the third major leak of military secrets of 2010, and the United States government tried to prosecute WikiLeaks and prevent future leaks. However, the First Amendment guarantees citizens freedom of the press and very few restrictions have been permitted by the Supreme Court. The Congressional Research Service concluded that no publisher of leaked information has ever been prosecuted for publishing the material, and the only legal action the U.S. government could take was to charge an Army soldier, Bradley Manning, with violating the Espionage Act for purportedly supplying WikiLeaks with the video of the helicopter and other classified documents.

(WD), operates a food truck in Albany, New York. WD brands itself and the food it sells with language generally viewed as ethnic slurs. Owners Andrea Loguidice and Brandon Snooks, however, view the branding as giving a “nod to their Italian heritage” and “weakening the derogatory force of the slur.” Twice, WD applied to participate as a vendor in a summer lunch program in a state-owned plaza. Both times, the New York State Office of General Services (OGS) denied the appli-cation because of WD’s branding.
