The Santa Rosa Junior College women’s volleyball team is under scrutiny after three athletes filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) on Sept. 3, alleging Title IX violations by the college and the California Community College Athletic Association (3C2A).
SRJC freshmen Gracie Shaw and Brielle Galli, along with sophomore Madison Shaw, filed the complaint raising concern for their safety while practicing with a transgender teammate, and claiming the college and 3C2A are in violation of Title IX for allowing a transgender athlete to actively participate on the team.
They describe in their complaint “ongoing Title IX violations that threatened physical safety and equal athletic opportunities for thousands of women junior college athletes at 112 junior colleges in the State of California governed by the California Community College Athletic Association (“3C2A”).”…
