The Bush adminsitration recently went after Title IX, which ensures budget proportionality with regards to male and female atheletics: i.e., if a school has a 52% female student body, 52% of the sports budget must go to girls/womens atheletics. This should be an obvious and fair thing to do but as you know we often have to make laws to enforce fairness. Thankfully the panel didn’t strip this requirement as was hoped. My favorite quote from this: “Critics say proportionality has forced schools to cut male sports to meet the ratio requirement. Roughly 400 men’s college teams were eliminated in the 1990s, with wrestling taking such a blow that the National Wrestling Coaches Association has filed suit, claiming that the first prong has evolved into a quota system.” Boo fucking hoo.
