Today, the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals reaffirmed a decision finding that the Michigan High School Athletic Association (MHSAA) discriminates against female high school athletes by scheduling only their sports in nontraditional and less advantageous seasons, in violation of the U.S. Constitution and Title IX. The National Women's Law Center’s Co-President Marcia Greenberger had this to say about the ruling, “After eight long years, Michigan girls can finally cheer. The court has once again ruled that the facts and the law are on the side of Michigan high school girls. MHSAA must stop forcing these girls to play second string and instead ensure that they have the athletic opportunities they deserve.” To read the full press release go here.
