Title IX

Title IX covers a lot of bases when it comes to sex discrimination. It includes areas such as education, sports, service organizations, educational institutions of religious organizations, etc. Many schools that have lots of sports programs have to follow by this title when it comes to the number of women's sports that are offered based on the female population in the school.

I found an article on the New York Times website about the University of Delaware and how they have cut back men's programs because they feel that in the future they will not be able to meet the requirements of Title IX. The school plans on adding another female sport in the fall, but they are concerned that they will not be compliant with the Title in the future. Is this really cause for concern? Or is it just limiting the choices for men and being unfair about it?

There is currently debate over whether or not the University is discriminating against its male athletes because of all of the cuts they are making to the men's teams. It seems like it's easier for some schools than others to follow the requirements of Title IX.
