[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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. [/quote]

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. [/quote]

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? [/quote]

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