A legal settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit involving female athletes at San Diego State University.
SDSU has agreed to pay 300-thousand dollars, plus another $1.3 million in attorney fees to settle a Title Nine lawsuit brought by more than a dozen female student athletes who said they received less scholarship money than their male counterparts.
The settlement marks the first time ever that a university will pay for allegedly depriving female student athletes of equal athletic financial aid.
SDSU did not admit to any wrongdoing, and maintains that it treats its female student athletes fairly.
