But the fight to save the women&#8217;s program, in accordance with Title IX rules, continues. This week, Champion Women, the women&#8217;s rights group led by Olympic champion <strong>Nancy Hogshead<\/strong>, and <strong>Leigh Ernst Friestedt <\/strong>of Equity IX Sports Law,\u00a0sent a letter to Cal Poly President <strong>Jeffrey Armstrong<\/strong> demanding the reinstatement of women&#8217;s swimming and diving.<\/p>\n<p>In this latest correspondence between Champion Women and Armstrong, Hogshead and Ernst Friestedt again highlight the university&#8217;s violations of Title IX. Champion Women also alerted Armstrong that Stephen F. Austin&#8217;s recent attempt to cut three women&#8217;s sports &#8211; golf, bowling and beach volleyball &#8211; was met with a preliminary injuntion from a federal judge. Additionally, Champion Women noted that President Donald Trump&#8217;s recent Executive Order, Saving College Sports, directly addresses Cal Poly&#8217;s decision to cut women&#8217;s swimming and diving.<\/p>\n<p>After the cuts were announced, CPU swimmers and alumni attempted to raise funds to save the programs. While the effort raised $10 million, it fell short of the university&#8217;s $15 million figure for reinstatement.<\/p>\n<p>Cal Poly recently announced that it was elevating its women&#8217;s STUNT program from the club level to a varsity sport.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to sending a letter to Armstrong and other members of the Cal Poly administration, here is the email sent by Champion Women to the school president:<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>Dear President Armstrong, Cal Poly athletic administrators, and legal staff,<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>Attached please find our letter urging you to act quickly to reinstate Cal Poly\u2019s Women\u2019s Swimming &amp; Diving team.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>Since we last communicated, President Trump has issued an Executive Order, \u201cSaving College Sports,\u201d\u00a0that directly addresses Cal Poly\u2019s sex discrimination in cutting a thriving women\u2019s sport, your swimming and diving team.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>In addition, on Friday, the court found \u2013 in a fact pattern almost identical to Cal Poly\u2019s \u2013 that Stephen F. Austin State University (SFA) was intentionally discriminating against its women students by denying them equal athletic opportunities. It granted the women\u2019s preliminary injunction and declined to give SFA an opportunity to \u201ccreate a plan to demonstrate compliance,\u201d given the school&#8217;s lack of desire to stop discriminating against women\u00a0without\u00a0the court\u2019s direction, again, a pattern\u00a0similar to Cal Poly.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>SFA tried to argue that it was a financial decision, not a sex discrimination decision. But as the Plaintiffs pointed out, the financial harms were exacerbated by the school\u2019s<strong>\u00a0voluntary decision to opt into a settlement that contained a revenue-sharing model that permits the school to share up to $20.5 million with its athletes.\u00a0<\/strong>We are not sure how this decision would\u00a0<strong>not<\/strong>\u00a0apply squarely to Cal Poly.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>Third, the eventual establishment of STUNT and Flag Football will not prevent a court from reinstating the Women\u2019s Swimming &amp; Diving team. The women are facing intentional sex discrimination NOW, and Cal Poly\u2019s promise to close a 39.95% gap for women\u2019s athletic opportunities, equating to 141 female athletes at some future date, will not suffice.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>Fourth, we ask Cal Poly to address the retaliation and the other types of financial and emotional harms that are at issue.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>Finally, we request that Cal Poly engage with us to avoid unnecessary and costly legal proceedings or potential withdrawal of federal funds by the Department of Education. As I tell my students, courts determine the\u00a0<u>facts<\/u>\u00a0and the\u00a0<u>law<\/u>\u00a0in a given dispute. Here, both are crystal clear; a court of law is a wasteful use of your resources.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Respectfully,<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Nancy Hogshead<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Leigh Ernst Friedstedt<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/results\/pdf\/champion-women-save-cal-poly-ncaa-college-2025-08-05.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Full Champion Women Letter; Stephen F.
