Unprecedented ruling gives former and current athletes, from rowing and track and field teams, ability to seek compensation if they prove discrimination in scholarship pay
over allegedly receiving less scholarship money than male athletes have standing to seek damages from the university.
The lawsuit claims SDSU violated Title IX — the landmark 1972 legislation that prohibits gender discrimination at educational institutions receiving federal funding — by depriving the female athletes of equal scholarship money and equal treatment and benefits. It also claims the university retaliated against the athletes who joined the lawsuit.
The statement said SDSU “awards almost all possible scholarships permitted under NCAA rules for both its men’s and women’s teams, with the remaining fraction explained by legitimate, non-discriminatory reasons within SDSU coaches’ discretion.” The lawsuit contends that the plaintiffs represent a broader class-action group — all female athletes at SDSU — that has been deprived of equal scholarship money and benefits. For example, it contends that in 2018, there were nearly 100 more female athletes than male athletes — 316 to 221 — and yet the male athletes received $4.6 million in total athletic financial aid while the female athletes received $4.58 million.
