Out-of-Sync Seasons Hurt Girls, Judge Rules
- Share via
The Michigan high school athletic association discriminates against girls by scheduling their athletic seasons out of sync with their collegiate counterparts, a federal judge ruled in Kalamazoo, Mich. U.S. District Judge Richard A. Enslen wrote that he supports the claim of two Grand Rapids-area women that the Michigan High School Athletic Assn.’s policies violate the equal-protection clause of the 14th Amendment, Title IX and Michigan civil rights law.
Michigan is one of only a few states where high school girls play basketball in the fall and volleyball in the winter.
