Regardless of these claims, the court found that the school failed to meet the three-part test required by Title IX. The University also cut the men’s lacrosse team and planned to create a women’s golf team, that they said would make up for the lost opportunity for women in athletics at the university that came with cutting the gymnastics team, according to the Daily Local. West Chester University cut the gymnastics team last April as a result of an athletic department budget shortfall of nearly $98,000. Barclay Surrick issued a preliminary injunction agreeing with the claims made in the lawsuit, filed on behalf of nine members of the gymnastics team by the Trial Lawyers for Public Justice (TLPJ), that the university is in violation of Title IX, the federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in federally funded education. A federal judge on Thursday ordered West Chester University to reinstate the women’s gymnastics team it had cut in April.
