Michigan Mega Conference

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Michigan Mega Conference is a large high school athletic league comprised of twenty-eight schools. Member schools are predominantly located in suburban Wayne County, Michigan. The other schools are located in neighboring Monroe and Washtenaw Counties. The schools are also members of the Michigan High School Athletic Association and compete in the organization's post-season state championships. Depending on the sport, the schools are divided into 3 or 4 divisions.

[edit] Controversies

When the MEGA conference was formed in 1993, many schools were denied entry into the conference. The repudiated schools cited that due to their large black student population, the founding schools "discriminated in the formation and operation of the league." Consequently, current member schools Dearborn Heights Robichaud and Romulus filed complaints against the conference for denying their admission as members to the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) at the United States Department of Education. OCR determined that the athletic league violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The schools declined a resolution offered by the OCR and subsequently sent the subject to the Justice Department in the summer of 1995. A resolution was succeeded by the eighteen founding members and the Justice Department to include the aforementioned schools and five others (Highland Park, Inkster, River Rouge, Ypsilanti, Ypsilanti Willow Run) encompassing an athletic conference of twenty five schools.
