Hanover College recently announced it was cutting its women&#8217;s and men&#8217;s swimming programs, and the lawsuit indicates that the school now offers female athletes with approximately 170 fewer opportunities that required by the law.<\/p>\n<p>The members of the team who are plaintiffs in the case are <strong>Lucy Schoenlein<\/strong>, <strong>Tallulah Frazier<\/strong>, <strong>Shelby Geraghty<\/strong> and <strong>Anna<\/strong> <strong>Williams<\/strong>. Hanover announced it was cutting its swimming programs in March. The most recent data from the Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act (EADA) indicated that Hanover College, a Division III program, was 15% under the requirement for female-athlete opportunities under Title IX law.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHanover\u2019s elimination of its women\u2019s swimming team is a flagrant violation of Title IX,\u201d said\u00a0Arthur Bryant of Arthur Bryant Law, P.C., in Oakland, CA, the lead counsel for the athletes. \u201cAccording to the most recent publicly available information, women were 50.34% of Hanover\u2019s undergraduates in 2024-25, but they were given only 34.86% of the opportunities to participate in varsity sports. Hanover needs to add around 170 opportunities for women to reach gender equity. It should not be eliminating anywomen\u2019s teams.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bryant notified Hanover of its violation through an email <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arthurbryantlaw.com\/s\/Letter-to-Hanover-College-President-re-Title-IX-Violation-52626.pdf\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.arthurbryantlaw.com\/s\/Letter-to-Hanover-College-President-re-Title-IX-Violation-52626.pdf&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1787796964561000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0DwmJNWrEStnQBWzcTkOaN\">to Hanover President Lake Lambert.<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cTitle IX requires schools to give women and men equal opportunities to participate in varsity sports,\u201d said Schoenlein, women\u2019s team captain and one of the plaintiffs in the case. \u201cBut Hanover College has been depriving women of equal opportunities for decades \u2013 and now it\u2019s eliminated the women\u2019s swimming team. So, we\u2019re going to fight for our team, our teammates, and all of the women at Hanover.
