Seven members of the women's swimming and diving team and two women's tennis players allege in a sex discrimination class action lawsuit filed in August that by dropping the programs, the Irvine school is violating Title IX. Judge Fred W. Slaughter agreed, ordering that the injunction remain in place for the duration of the lawsuit. Concordia must immediately reinstate the women's teams and provide them "with funding, staffing, and all other benefits commensurate with their status as varsity intercollegiate teams," Slaughter wrote in a 19-page ruling.

Dear Undecided, Hire Rhonda. She is an adult who presumably knows how large her breasts are, and if she is as impeccably qualified as you say, then she knows how to handle middle schoolers.

Fun fact, if you didn't want to hire Rhonda because she was short or had blue eyes, that would actually be legal (although still gross!).

U.S. District Judge Barbara Rothstein, who is overseeing the case, ruled this month that parts of Stonelake's suit had merit, and the case will move forward.
