I am posting to update everyone after the meeting of the Diamond Girls and John Cohen. This information is secondhand. I was not able to attend the meeting because I had a class to teach, but here is what my daughter told me:

No real progress made. The girls and their parents made valid points that were not really refuted by administration. Basically, they are hiding behind the Covid excuse despite the Covid arguments being illogical. Cohen left the meeting after 10 minutes. He basically thanked them for their service and said that they are treasured members of the State baseball community. His decisions, however, do not align with that professed belief. The girls feel diminished by the athletic department.

I am not sure what the next move will be. Again, this is secondhand information. I did not personally hear what he said.

The girls appreciate the support they have received from everyone and hope it continues.
