Title IX

Univ. of New Hampshire is getting rid of its women's rowing. The official line is that it has to get rid of some sports so that it can get into compliance with Title IX. Really is that it is doing a big budget cut. I wonder if this is the first women's team to be axed becasue of Title IX. I don't understand how Title IX can possibly be used for what seems to me to be a really cheap blow to many girls. Rowing is a somewhat expensive sport, lots of coaches, lots of equipment.

    Meg, Thank you for correcting my spelling. I am a terrible speller. Cincinnati had a terrible time getting any of its atheletic scholarship students, in any sport to graduate for many years. I realize that the overall graduation rate is dropping for all segments of the population. But for atheletes, I was told it is still at a great low, even though it has improved.
