Abstract

The article examines the gender disparities and challenges faced by female students and faculty at Gonzaga University School of Law, highlighting the need for systemic changes to align the institution’s practices with its mission and legal obligations under Title IX. While the school has made progress in increasing female enrollment, significant gaps persist in faculty representation, classroom participation, and the overall gender-inclusive environment. The study calls for concrete measures to address these issues, including hiring more female faculty, fostering equitable classroom dynamics, and implementing annual gender studies to monitor progress.
