Brooke Slusser, a former co-captain of the San Jose State University women’s volleyball team, has filed a lawsuit against the university and the Mountain West Conference after allegedly being required to share accommodations with transgender teammate Blaire Fleming without prior knowledge of Fleming’s biological sex. A federal judge dismissed claims against the Mountain West but allowed Title IX violations against SJSU and the California State University system to proceed, pending a Supreme Court ruling in a related case. Slusser’s attorney anticipates a favorable ruling for their case based on the original intent of Title IX, while appeals regarding the Mountain West’s dismissal are likely.
