Despite Title IX, sports still inequitable, homophobic.
Want to get your school's attention? Hit 'em where it really hurts--in the pocketbook.
Despite 35 years of Title IX--the federal law requiring gender equity in educational programs including athletics--leaders at some schools still ignore or misunderstand it. Having run out of patience, female athletes and coaches who are victims of sexual harassment, retaliation or homophobia have decided to hire attorneys and fight it out in court. The outcomes are costing schools big bucks, especially in California.
Some recent highlights:
* A jury ordered California State University at Fresno to pay $19.1 million to Stacy Johnson-Klein for illegally firing her as women's basketball coach. Her suit claimed she was fired for advocating for female athletes at Fresno.
* Another court had ordered Fresno to pay $5.85 million to former volleyball coach Lindy Vivas for sex bias.
* Fresno settled out of court by promising to pay $3.5 million to former associate athletic director Diane Milutinovich, who had also sued for sex discrimination.
* The University of Colorado has agreed to pay $2.85 million to settle a lawsuit by former students Lisa Simpson and Anne Gilmore, who claimed they were gang raped by football players and recruits at an off-campus party in 2001.
