Is your charter complaint with Titile ix?

[Anonymous]

What sports does your school offer?

What are the guidelines for measuring compliance?

I believe Title IX is not so much about "what sports does your school offer" as it is "for the sports that your school does offer, do boys and girls have equal access and resources".

that is correct - I was trying to find out what programs various schools offer. My children are in elementary school - and I am starting to look at MS / HS programs and understanding how schools are ensuring they are complaint.

I see most schools offering soccer, basketall, swimming, track and field for boys and girls.

I saw there are some schools with football / flag football programs as well as lacrosse for boys and was wonderinf how schools are balancing these offerings.

PP those might be club sports not varsity sports. I don't think title IX applies to club sports.

At our charter elementary we have lacrosse for boys and girls and Girls on the Run. My son wonders why there isn't a "Boys on the Run".

what is the difference between a club and a varsity sport?

Note - the lacrosse and flag football programs that I was referring to were at the MS level. The MS flag football team was defnitely playing other DC area schools this fall.

Sadly Title IX applies to club sports too.

Sadly? Title IX is a good thing.

I don't think so.

You don't think getting rid of quotas for women in Law, Med, Vet programs was a good thing?

You don't think getting rid of quota for women in undergraduate programs was a good thing?

You don't think getting rid of restrictions on allowing women to get tenured positions at universities was a good thing?

I assume you are a man who wrote it - b/c if you are a woman - you probably would not have had the educational opportunities that you experienced without title ix.

Simmer down. I am a woman and think it needs a rewrite. The proportionality prong of the law is ridiculous. Something used to open doors for women should shut doors for men.

I assume you mean to say Shouldn't shut doors for men?

The issue with title IX at the college level is men's sports. Because football uses so many resources it means a lot of colleges are cutting other men's sports to make sure the men's and women's programs balance. That stinks if you are a boy wrestler, swimmer, runner and even soccer player, as those sports have been the most affected. Vanderbilt has no men's track or soccer. U of Richmond is cutting soccer and another men's sport to make way for lacrosse. UMD cut several sports last year.

but the supreme court said that the schools have the choice on how to be compliant - maybe U of Richmond colud add women's volleyball, softball, or rowing in lieu of cutting soccer?

They could but they don't, since that would cost more money and bring in no revenue.
