Qatari emir rejects attending Arab summit

Qatar was represented by a senior official at an Arab summit-taking place in Saudi Arabia yesterday, in a sign that a nearly year-old dispute between Gulf Arab neighbors is still a long way from being resolved.

Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt severed diplomatic and transport ties with Qatar in June 2017, accusing it of supporting terrorism. Doha denies the charges and says the boycott is an attempt to impinge on its sovereignty.

The Qatari delegation was headed by Doha's permanent representative to the Arab League, Saif bin Muqaddam al-Buainain, the state news agency.

Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani headed Qatar's delegation at last year's Arab summit in Jordan.

Sheikh Tamim returned to Doha on Saturday from a U.S. trip where he met President Donald Trump, who had publicly sided with the Saudis and Emiratis early in the crisis, but is now pushing for a resolution to restore Gulf Arab unity and maintain a united front against Iran. Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir said on Thursday that Qatar's crisis would not be on the table at the Arab League summit, Al Arabiya reported. Ahead of the summit, the four boycotting nations reaffirmed that their demands on Qatar — including closing Al Jazeera television station and reducing ties with Iran — were "a necessary basis" for a resolution to the crisis.

    Title IX, the landmark piece of U.S. legislation that was meant to ensure equity between men and women in education, turns 50 on June 23.

It was signed into law by President Richard Nixon. The measure barred discrimination against women when it came to programs that receive federal assistance.

The impact of the law barring discrimination in educational programs that receive federal aid is vast, but it has been particularly influential in athletics, with women's and men's teams expected to be treated equally.
