W.Va. university officials reflect on Title IX

Article here. Excerpt:

'Crane-Banford said Marshall has made progress when it comes to Title IX but the law presents challenges.

The school now offers the maximum number of scholarships in women's sports. The women also don't have to provide some of their equipment anymore -- a change implemented within the last five years, Crane-Banford said.

But other areas of compliance are trickier, especially when it comes to getting participation numbers proportional to enrollment, which fluctuates each semester.

There's a cap on men's sports teams and a floor on women's sports participation, but that number is "kind of a moving target," Crane-Banford said, depending on total school enrollment.'
