'Looking for Alternatives in Title IX Enforcement'

Article here. Excerpt:

'Western Illinois University is the first school to work publically with the Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights to comply with Title IX via interest surveys.

But proponents of true gender equity should applaud WIU’s initiative. After all, the real goal should be equality of opportunity, not equality of outcomes. It should be of no greater concern that there are fewer women playing sports than it is that there are fewer men taking part in campus theater or arts programs—so long as everyone is given equal opportunity to participate.'
