Newsweek has a web-exclusive interview on Title IX with Jessica Gavora of the College Sports Council. It’s a fabulous primer for what’s wrong the the status quo of Title IX enforcement:

The law has been hijacked and has put government into the role of coercing schools to make it look like men and women are participating in athletics at the same rate. Doing a proportionality test forces schools to manipulate their rosters to make the gender ratios match that of the student body. And this is hard for lots of schools to do. Men and women don’t turn out to play sports at the same rate. They don’t show the same interest in sports, not to mention that these colleges and universities are increasingly female so schools end up having to make that gender ratio match. They end up cutting their men’s teams and limiting the size of the teams that do exist to make it look like men and women are equally participating in sports.
