Does Title IX Need Fixing?

Article here. Excerpt:

'Richmond is getting rid of men’s soccer and men’s track in order to add men’s lacrosse, which a university committee decided would be more attractive to students and advantageous for Division 1 play. The university’s athletic director is blaming Title IX because – he says – if they add men’s lacrosse without scrapping another men’s sport, they’d have to add a women’s sport. He says they can’t afford that and don’t want to reserve more spots for student-athletes.

The university president claims the decision to substitute lacrosse for men’s soccer and track wasn’t connected to the $3 million in donations pledged for an endowment for the new lacrosse team.'
