Comment on Title IX lawsuit ongoing despite University of Iowa about-face on women’s swimming cut

IOWA CITY — Although University of Iowa Athletics has reversed its decision to eliminate women’s swimming and diving after this season — following a court injunction requiring it do so — the UI hasn’t dropped its opposition to the overall court case that could have broader gender equity implications for its student athletes.The university also hasn’t directly responded to a Save Hawkeye Sports group that has spent months raising $2.5 million from over 700 donors to support the women’s swimming and diving program and three other sports still set to be cut after this season: men’s tennis, men’s gymnastics and men’s swimming and diving.
