The intent of Title IX in college sports is to increase opportunities for women, which is happening everywhere. Everybody supports the increase in women's sports opportunities. The decisions to drop men's sports opportunities are made by university administrators who are attempting to comply with the law, often under pressure from the Office of Civil Rights. Men's sports opportunities are eliminated when colleges are forced to use proportionality as the method to comply with the law. Proportionality is an artificial gender quota, which, when put into practice, is used to eliminate men's sports.
Nobody wins with proportionality quotas.
Donna Lopiano is telling the truth in this interview. The WSF Gender Equity Report Card, published by the organization that Lopiano runs, claims that men's sports have gained from 1978-1996. The real statistics show that this is just not the case. However, this misinformation is being spread across the nation, even today. Stop confusing the issue.
