The parents of former San Jose State University volleyball co-captain Brooke Slusser made their first public statement since the U.S. Department of Education<\/a> (ED) determined the school violated Title IX while Slusser was enrolled. Slusser emerged as the central figure opposing the university during a 2024 scandal involving trans athlete Blaire Fleming.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Slusser filed a lawsuit against<\/a> representatives of SJSU and the Mountain West Conference after she allegedly was made to share a bedroom and changing spaces with Fleming without being told of Fleming’s biological sex. Among the ED’s findings, it also concluded that the trans athlete conspired with an opposing player to have an SJSU teammate, presumably Slusser, spiked in the face during a match.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Slusser’s parents, Paul and Kim Slusser, provided a joint statement to Fox News Digital addressing the ED’s recent crackdown on the university.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re thrilled that the Trump administration, Secretary McMahon, and the Department of Education are taking action on the issue of men in women\u2019s sports\u2014something the last administration did not do! San Jose State University completely failed its female athletes, and it\u2019s about time they\u2019re held accountable,” the statement read.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re watching closely to see how they respond, and our next step is to fight for justice in court. San Jose State and the Mountain West Conference betrayed the volleyball team, and they will have to answer for it.”<\/p>\n

The parents had to watch their daughter endure an eating disorder and an academic setback as a result of the trauma that was induced by the scandal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I went from around 160 to 128 [pounds] in that one semester. It definitely isn’t healthy for someone of my size to be that weight, and I ended up losing my menstrual cycle<\/a> for nine months. So it was definitely severe,” the 5-11 Slusser previously told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

After the 2024 season and fall semester ended, Slusser’s parents saw the physical impact the situation took on her, and demanded she come home to Texas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“As soon as the season was over, she came home for Christmas, and we were like, ‘You’re not going back,'” Paul Slusser previously told Fox News Digital, adding that he told his daughter, “‘You can go get your stuff next summer when your lease is up, and stay here.'”<\/p>\n

Once winter break was over, and what was supposed to be her final semester<\/a> began, Brooke attempted to complete her courses online.<\/p>\n

Her parents said she began online classes, but dropped them shortly later. As a Division I scholarship athlete<\/u><\/a>, dropping the classes resulted in her losing the scholarship, and her family had to pay for the full semester’s worth of tuition out of pocket, and her housing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We had to pay, basically her mortgage and her apartment for the rest of the semester. So it was a pretty large financial burden on us when that happened,” Paul Slusser said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The ED gave SJSU an ultimatum to comply with a series of agreements or risk “imminent enforcement action.” The deadline is Feb. 11, 2026.<\/p>\n

The necessary terms include:<\/p>\n

SJSU responded to the ultimatum in a statement.<\/p>\n

“San Jose State, a member of the California State University system, received notification from the federal Department of Education\u2019s Office of Civil Rights regarding its investigation into athletics participation on our past women\u2019s volleyball teams. The Department informed the University of the outcome<\/u><\/a> of its investigation and its findings. The University is in the process of reviewing the Department\u2019s findings and proposed resolution agreement,” an SJSU statement said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We remain committed to providing a safe, respectful, and inclusive educational environment for all students while complying with applicable laws and regulations.”<\/p>\n
