Economy offers chance to rethink policies for gender equity in athletics.
Budget constraints may have a silver lining on some campuses, giving officials a chance to examine gender equity in sports as athletics departments look to cut costs.
"Where there is crisis, there's also opportunity," said Ellen Staurowsky, chair of the grad program of sports management at Ithaca College NY. "Athletics departments really have an opening to ... rethink how athletics are funded, to what degree and in what fashion."
Title IX advocates hope President Obama can give gender equity a push. Last year he referred to Title IX's federal agency, the Education Department's Office for Civil Rights, as ineffective. Between 2002 and 2006, it conducted just one compliance review.
Obama--an avid basketball player with two young daughters--said he'd allocate more resources to the agency and called on schools to be more proactive in complying with the law.
He is also expected to change the 2005 "clarification" of Title IX that allows schools to use an online interest survey to show that it accommodates students' interests in sports, which critics say is flawed methodology.
Some schools have already cut athletics budgets:
