In December current and former beach volleyball players, as well as members of the club rowing team, filed a federal class action lawsuit against UO. They said the team received less financial aid and poorer facilities than male athletes. They asked a judge to find the school violated Title IX, a federal law requiring equal access to education. They also asked the university to add club rowing as a varsity sport to reach gender parity.
In its response, first reported by The Daily Emerald, the university denied the claims, saying all athletes have access to medical treatment, meals and athletic equipment. It said the beach volleyball team has the number of scholarships allowed under NCAA rules.
It also argued that comparing the funding the football team receives to the beach volleyball team is an improper Title IX analysis.
âThis comparison disregards the clearly equitable treatment and benefits provided overall to male and female student-athletes across the University of Oregonâs athletic department. The University of Oregon, which fields twelve varsity womenâs teams compared to eight menâs varsity teams, provides its varsity student-athletes, female and male, with a high-quality experience fully in compliance with Title IX.â
UO also denied allegations that volleyball players were promised during recruitment, or during their time on the team, that they would have their own court instead of practicing in a city park. The university said itâs designing a facility thatâs been planned for the last five years.
UO has asked a judge to dismiss the lawsuit.
