This is a sex discrimination class action brought by female student-athletes at the University of Oregon against the University. On December 1, 2023, varsity female student-athletes belonging to the University’s beach volleyball and rowing teams filed this lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Oregon. The plaintiffs sued the University under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, 20 U.S.C. § 1681. Represented by Jennifer J. Middleton of Johnson Johnson Lucas & Middleton PC and Arthur H. Bryant of Bailey & Glasser, LLP, the plaintiffs sought class action certification, with the plaintiffs serving as class representatives. In their complaint, plaintiffs sought various remedies, including a declaratory order stating that the University discriminated against its current female varsity student-athletes on the basis of sex and a permanent injunction against such discrimination, along with compensatory and nominal damages. The plaintiffs alleged that the University violated Title IX by failing to provide female varsity student-athletes with the same treatment and benefits provided to it provides male varsity student-athletes. Alleged disparate treatment included failure to provide athletic financial aid to its female and male student-athletes in proportion to the number of students of each sex participating in intercollegiate athletics, and failure to provide female students an equal opportunity to participate in varsity intercollegiate athletics. This case was assigned to Judge Ann L. Aiken.

On the same day the plaintiffs filed their complaint, the court issued a Discovery and Pretrial Scheduling Order. This order requires the parties to complete discovery by April 1, 2024 and to submit a Joint Alternate Dispute Resolution Report by April 29, 2024. This case is still ongoing.
