Abbe Fletman was asked to comment about a federal judge’s ruling that Quinnipiac University cannot use competitive cheerleading to meet its Title IX requirements. Fletman currently represents the Women’s Equestrian Team of Delaware State University (DSU) in a Title IX class action lawsuit against the University. Fletman stated, “The [opportunity] gap [between men’s and women’s sports] is so large that, even if cheer counted as a varsity sport, and even if every slot Delaware State said it would fill with competitive cheerleaders was filled, the Title IX gap would still exist.”
