San Diego State University has reached a $300,000 settlement in a Title IX case brought by female student-athletes who alleged unequal scholarship opportunities.
CaseyGerry Partner Gayle Blatt, who leads the firm’s Complex Litigation team, was part of the legal team representing the athletes alongside co-counsel, as reflected in published press coverage of the case. In addition to the monetary recovery, the settlement includes meaningful institutional commitments, including a gender equity review and measures aimed at ensuring more equitable treatment across athletic programs.
The broader significance of this case extends beyond the settlement itself. It reflects continued efforts to advance fairness and equal opportunity in collegiate athletics, and the role advocacy can play in shaping that progress.
