Carmyn James is the women’s track and field coach at the University of Hawaii and in September of this year she filed a lawsuit against the University. The lawsuit was made because James did not believe the university was offering equal opportunities to her female athletes. However, on Sunday it was reported that Carmyn James was dropping her lawsuit. She said this was because of her faith in the administration of doing the right thing after they had a few meeting on the subject.
This is the way that any Title IX issues should be handled. You hear so many times about the school firing its employees if they threaten to file a lawsuit against them. But, by James and the university talking it out both sides are happy because she still has her job and hopefully the team will get what it deserves. The school also avoids a lawsuit against them and most likely a rather large pay out for damages.
