University of Oregon Faces Title IX Lawsuit Filed by 32 Female Athletes

The lawsuit alleges unequal treatment and benefits, financial aid, and opportunities for women's sports, particularly the beach volleyball and club rowing teams.

32 female athletes from the University of Oregon have filed a federal lawsuit alleging Title IX violations in women's sports, specifically the beach volleyball and club rowing teams.
The lawsuit alleges that the University of Oregon has been depriving them of equal treatment and benefits, equal athletic financial aid, and equal opportunities to participate, with the school treating its varsity male student-athletes significantly better.
The women's beach volleyball team alleges that they do not receive fair treatment and benefits compared to men's teams, citing examples such as inferior equipment, facilities, and lack of financial aid.
The lawsuit also highlights the disparity in the school's annual athletics budget, with women making up more than 49% of Oregon's student-athletes, but the school spending only 25% of its annual athletics budget on them.
The University of Oregon has responded by stating that it believes it complies with Title IX and is committed to providing a quality, positive experience for all its student-athletes.
