'The College of William & Mary on Monday reinstated the women’s sports among the seven teams it cut in September, without resolution on severed men’s sports. Women’s gymnastics, women’s swimming and women’s volleyball will continue, allowing W&M to comply with Title IX, according to the school.
W&M’s shift comes as it faces a lawsuit that points out flaws in the school’s discontinuation plan. W&M in previous statements said it would comply with Title IX following the cuts through adjusted roster management: more women’s participation slots and fewer in men’s sports. But in Monday’s announcement, the school said it wasn’t certain its strategy would result in compliance.'
