[Vision2020] Title IX

[TIM RIGSBY]

"Intercollegiate Athletics
Title IX governs the overall equity of treatment and opportunity in 
athletics while giving schools the flexibility to choose sports based on 
student body interest, geographic influence, budget restraints, and gender 
ratio. In other words, it is not a matter of women being able to participate 
in wrestling or that exactly the same amount of money is spent per women's 
and men's basketball player. Instead, the focus is on the necessity for 
women to have equal opportunities as men on a whole, not on an individual 
basis.
In regard to intercollegiate athletics, there are three primary areas that 
determine if an institution is in compliance:
athletic financial assistance
accommodation of athletic interests & abilities
other program areas
Appraisal of compliance is on a program-wide basis, not on a sport-by-sport 
basis.

While many resources have been written specific for intercollegiate sports, 
the general components of Title IX apply to interscholastic sport as well."



Revolution is not a word but an application; it is not war but peace; it 
does not weaken, but strengthens. Revolution does not cause separation; it 
generates togetherness.
-John Africa, Strategic Revolution
