I am happy to announce that the appeals court ruled in favor of coeducation at Deep Springs. All three Justices agreed. Their ruling is linked below.
What does this mean? Is the lawsuit done? That depends. Until May 23, 2017, the objectors have the right to petition the California Supreme Court for review. If they do, we don’t know if the court will accept the case for consideration or not.
Never trust predictions about the legal system. Delays are common. Decisions can be overturned. That said, the trustees remain hopeful. This ruling is an important step towards a coeducational Deep Springs.
