 Jobs, News and Views for All of Higher Education - Inside Higher Ed :: Flawed Assumption: College Restores Track Teams
Assumption College has abandoned a plan to drop its men’s and women’s track and field teams, after concluding, under pressure from the U.S. Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights, that doing so would have violated Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972.
Because the college has a heavily female student body and has not continually expanded its sports offerings for women, its only hope of complying with Title IX is through “prong three” of the law’s participation standard, which requires an institution to show that it is meeting the athletics interests and abilities of its female students.
Because Assumption dropped the teams without having sought to gauge whether there was sufficient interest among female athletes in competing in track, Paluck said, officials from Assumption and OCR agreed that the decision to drop the teams put the college out of compliance.
