Federal Judge Strikes Down Anti-Title IX Lobbying Group’s Motion in JMU Case

A federal judge has denied an anti-Title IX lobbying group’s motion for a preliminary injunction against James Madison University, clearing the way for the school to move on after shuttering 10 sports programs in a self-proclaimed effort to comply with Title IX.   Among the reasons for the court’s ruling was the harm a preliminary injunction would cause the school, given that it had already terminated the coaches, cancelled contest dates and facilitated the transfer of student athletes.
