Legislators Offer Plan to Gain Sex Equality in Washington State Sports.

Monaghan, Peter

Chronicle of Higher Education, v35 n24 pA35-36 Feb 22 1989

The issue of sex equity in college athletics was brought to a head in 1987 in a decision by Washington state's Supreme Court in a case brought against Washington State University by former female athletes and coaches. To add two women's programs, the university asked the Legislature for additional money. (MLW)
