Cardinal House (C-House) will deliberate on whether Stanford student-athletes should be considered employees at its upcoming spring meeting, said Megan Olomu, a senior women’s sprinter and co-president of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC).

Ololmu told The Daily that Athletics Director Bernard Muir spoke with the athletes at the last C-House meeting, a quarterly gathering that hosts coach-appointed representatives from each of the 36 teams, and encouraged them to discuss student-athlete employment. C-House’s spring meeting is scheduled for April 24. 

The discussion comes after a National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) ruling that Dartmouth men’s basketball players are employees of the school. On Tuesday, the team voted to unionize and join Service Employees International Union Local 560, which currently represents some Dartmouth workers.
