DSU not likely to eliminate equestrian

Abbe Fletman was interviewed for this article that recounts some of Delaware State University’s  (DSU’s) legal issues as it faces a gender discrimination lawsuit under Title IX for attempting to eliminate its Women’s Equestrian Team. DSU had proposed earlier in the year to replace the women equestrians with a competitive cheerleading squad.  The article mentions that, given a recent ruling in a Title IX matter at Quinnipiac University, the outlook for DSU’s success in eliminating equestrian and establishing a competitive cheer squad appeared bleak.  Fletman stated, “The cheerleading decision in Connecticut makes [DSU’s] argument more difficult.”
