Title IX Lawsuit Filed Against Marshall University: Swimmers Fight Back Against Womens Team Cut
Marshall Universitys Board of Governors recently voted to end the womens swimming and diving program, replacing it with a stunt team. Current and former team members have filed a class action lawsuit, alleging Title IX violations due to discrimination against women in sports at a federally funded university. The suit, Dodd versus Marshall University, was filed in federal court in southern West Virginia, with fifteen athletes as plaintiffs. An independent audit found Marshall shorted women by two hundred ten, two hundred fifty, and one hundred sixty participation spots over the past three school years, proving years of unequal opportunities. University officials maintain the decision boosts Title IX compliance, long-term finances, and fits their facilities, while supporting the swimmers during the change and growing chances for women athletes overall.
