When we hear about programs being cut due to Title IX, it might be interesting to know if they meant:
(a) No programs would have been cut, except they had to comply with Title IX, or
(b) They were planning on cutting programs anyways, but Title IX limits which ones they could axe.
I suspect that we are really talking about situation (b), in which case bringing up Title IX is a red herring.
