The Supreme Court told a lower court Monday to reconsider whether Michigan high schools discriminated against female athletes by scheduling their basketball and volleyball seasons during nontraditional times of the year.
Justices set aside the lower court’s ruling for the female athletes. That decision found a violation of the Constitution’s equal protection clause and ordered the Michigan High School Athletic Association to revamp its scheduling so that girls’ teams played during their typical sport seasons — just like the boys’ teams.
