Extractions: Age Discrimination Advertisers I agree that the older workers are generally more loyal, stable, and mature in their outlook. They are also less likely to leave their employer in the lurch. They have also seen more than one cycle in the business world and will offer more seasoned judgements. As to older IT workers not being able to adapt, I respond by saying that anyone who has been in the IT industry for more than 10 years has proven their ability to adapt. It is as much a part of IT as steering is to race car driving. I question the business savvy of those who pass up on hiring older IT workers. It only makes good business sense to hire them.
Extractions: MIAMI A Florida college professor is claiming the hit television show "American Idol" is breaking the law by limiting the age of its contestants. Rules for "American Idol" say you can't be older than 24. So, Drew Cummings has filed complaints with the state and federal agencies that enforce anti-discrimination laws. Cummings says it's illegal to have an age cutoff. Last season, 23-year-old Kelly Clarkson won a $1 million recording contract in the "American Idol" competition. Her debut single "A Moment Like This" went on to make Billboard chart history with the biggest-ever leap to No. 1. The agencies have six months to review the charges. After that, Cummings could file lawsuits. Cummings says he finds "it hard to believe that age plays a part in determining the next American Idol." Cummings said, "Age discrimination runs rampant in the entertainment industry and corporate America. It's time that someone did something about it."

Extractions: United States Court of Appeals For the First Circuit No. 98-1757 RICHARD KOSTER, Plaintiff, Appellee, v. TRANS WORLD AIRLINES, INC., Defendant, Appellant. APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS [Hon. Joseph L. Tauro, U.S. District Judge Before Boudin, Circuit Judge John R. Gibson, Senior Circuit Judge and Lynch, Circuit Judge Joseph Baumgarten , with whom Proskauer, Rose, LLP James R. DeGiacomo Judith K. Wyman and were on brief, for appellant. Michael M. McArdle , with whom Earl D. Munroe and were on brief, for appellee. June 21, 1999 JOHN R. GIBSON, Senior Circuit Judge Trans World Airlines furloughed forty-seven year old Richard Koster as part of a 1994 work force reduction. Koster brought suit, invoking diversity jurisdiction, and a jury determined that TWA had engaged in illegal age discrimination under Massachusetts law, and awarded Koster $1,000,000 in damages. The district court doubled the damages pursuant to a Massachusetts statute and awarded prejudgment interest and attorneys' fees. TWA argues the district court erred in these latter rulings and (1) by denying its motion for a directed verdict and for judgment as a matter of law; (2) in the admission of evidence; and (3) by refusing a requested supplemental jury instruction. We affirm the jury's verdict and award of attorneys' fees, but reverse the award of damages and remand the case for further proceedings on the issue of damages. TWA hired Koster in 1965, and he initially worked at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York. He was reassigned to Logan Airport in Boston in 1977, and employed in various supervisory positions until his furlough in August 1994. Koster's last position was Supervisor, Ground Operations. He was responsible for Logan's garage, mail, air freight, dining, commissary and store areas. He earned $40,000 per year. TWA consistently promoted Koster and also asked him to take on special assignments when problems arose. Koster's performance evaluations consistently described him as an excellent employee.

Connecticut judge, No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subject to discrimination under any educational programs or activity receiving federal financial assistance. From the preamble to Title IX of the Education Amendments of Civil rights laws have historically been a powerful mechanism for effecting social change in the United States. They represent a national commitment to end discrimination and establish a mandate to bring the excluded into the mainstream. These laws ensure that the federal government delivers on the Constitution's promise of equal opportunity so that every individual has the right to develop his or her talents. Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 bolsters this national agenda and prohibits sex discrimination in federally assisted education programs. Modeled on Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibiting race, color, and national origin discrimination, it was followed by three other pieces of civil rights legislation: Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 prohibiting disability discrimination; the Age Discrimination Act of 1975; and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 prohibiting disability discrimination by public entities.

A Louis Harris survey, conducted in 1989, reported that one million workers aged 50 to 64 believed that they would be forced to retire before they were ready. Most of this group, anticipating an unwanted early retirement, said they would prefer to work for years longer. Another Harris survey, conducted in 1992, found that 5.4 million older Americansone in seven of those 55 and older who were not working at that timewere willing to work but could not find a suitable job.
