0share
Assembly member Selena Torres presented Assembly Bill 194 before the Senate Committee on Education Monday afternoon.
The bill is geared toward interrupting the school-to-prison pipeline by revising provisions relating to suspensions and expulsions in Nevada’s schools. It has the support of the Washoe County and Clark County Public Defenders’ Offices.
“The Clark County Public Defender’s Office and Washoe County Public Defender’s Office urge your support on AB 194. This bill will provide crucial due process protections to help break the school-to-prison pipeline,” John Piro of Clark County and Kendra Bertschy wrote to legislators in a March 23 letter.
Twenty-two cheerleaders allege in a lawsuit that UCO s Office of Student Conduct didn t give them due process before banning them from national competitions for two years. The lawsuit is pending in Oklahoma City federal court.
The lawsuit contends the suspension represents a Title IX violation. It specifically alleges the university has shown a pattern of imposing harsher punishments on women s organizations than upon men s.
UCO declined to comment for this story.
The Edmond college announced the suspension on March 20 and halted all activities for the 11-time national champions for the rest of the spring semester. All cheerleaders found to have participated in hazing were permanently removed from the team.
