Case Summary

On July 24, 2007, three female student-athletes at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) filed this class-action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. The plaintiffs sued under Title IX of the Educational Amendments Act of 1972, 42 U.S.C. § 1983, and state law. The plaintiffs were represented by Equity Legal, Equal Rights Advocates, and private counsel. They sought declaratory, injunctive, and monetary relief, claiming that UC Davis engaged…

On July 24, 2007, three female student-athletes at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) filed this class-action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. The plaintiffs sued under Title IX of the Educational Amendments Act of 1972, 42 U.S.C. § 1983, and state law. The plaintiffs were represented by Equity Legal, Equal Rights Advocates, and private counsel. They sought declaratory, injunctive, and monetary relief, claiming that UC Davis engaged in sex discrimination and thus deprived female athletes of an equal opportunity to participate in varsity athletics.

Specifically, the plaintiffs claimed that the University employed a discriminatory process for establishing and maintaining varsity teams. During the 2005-2006 academic year, for example, females constituted 56% of the population of UC Davis, but only 50% of participants in varsity sports were female.

In late December 2007, Judge Frank C. Damrell, Jr. denied the defendant's motion to dismiss for everything, although it did grant the motion as it related to claims that the plaintiff brought under state law. 2007 WL 4365521.

The plaintiffs moved for, and were granted class status defined as "all present, prospective, and future women students at the University of California at Davis who seek to participate in and/or who are deterred from participating in intercollegiate athletics at UCD." 2008 WL 11512299.

On December 12, 2007, Judge Frank C. Damrell, Jr., dismissed the 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and state law claims, leaving only the Title IX claim to be litigated. After two rounds of mediation, the parties decided they would settle this final claim.

On October 19, 2009, the Court approved a Settlement Agreement in which the University agreed to (1) form and fund a women's field hockey team set to start competition in 2009, (2) pay $110,000 to a non-profit organization aimed at the development of female athletes in the UC Davis club sports program, (3) report on and decrease the disparity between the percentage of women enrolled at UC Davis and the percentage of women participating in varsity sports, (4) pay each of the three class representatives $8,000 in damages, and (5) pay $460,000 in attorneys' fees and costs. The settlement agreement was to remain in effect through the 2019-2020 academic year.

On October 20, 2009, the Court granted the joint motion for final approval of settlement and signed the stipulated judgment and order. 2009 WL 8634478.

As of July 2020, there was nothing further on the docket; if there were any enforcement issues, they did not make their way into court.
