A three-judge appeals court panel this week agreed with a former University of Arizona student-athlete that the university retaliated against him for making Title IX discrimination claims and sent the case back to the trial court.

As reported by the Tucson Sentinel, the Ninth Circuit panel's ruling Tuesday at the same time affirmed the lower court's dismissal of those discrimination claims made by Michael Grabowski, who was kicked off of Arizona’s track and field team in September 2018, costing him his scholarship and leading him to change schools. He sued the university — along with the Arizona Board of Regents and multiple cross-country coaches and athletes — a year later, asserting Title IX harassment and alleging that the university revoked his scholarship in retaliation for his complaints of “sexual and homophobic bullying” from his teammates.
