Washington's Supreme Court rules that Washington State University has unconstitutionally discriminated against women's athletic programs. The 8-1 decision affirms most of a Whitman County Superior Court decision in January 1983. Justice James Dolliver, writing for the Supreme Court majority, says football should be allowed only a partial exemption. Effectively, it leads to the addition of additional varsity women's programs and support, including increased scholarship and the formation of varsity soccer at WSU, Washington and Eastern Washington. Women athletes and coaches at Washington State filed a class action lawsuit in 1983.
