Who has Standing to Sue<br />
in a Title IX Case<br />
• Depends on type of claim:<br />
– Participation claims: Courts have<br />
uniformly recognized that female students<br />
who seek to participate in a sport at a level<br />
not offered by the school have standing to<br />
bring a program-wide participation claim.<br />
– Scholarship and Treatment Claims:<br />
Students seeking to challenge inequities in<br />
scholarships and the treatment of athletes<br />
must already participate in the school’s<br />
athletic program.<br />
