Athletics leaders trying to comply with Title IX, the 1972 federal law requiring gender equity in educational opportunities, heard two different perspectives at the NCAA Title IX seminar held in San Diego in April.

After four national forums leading to a blue-ribbon commission's 23 suggestions for changing the interpretation of Title IX, The U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights has decided to retain its three-part test for compliance. Schools can choose to comply with any of the three parts:

* Athletics opportunities at the school equal its undergraduate enrollment by gender.

* The school continues to add women's teams to reach gender equity.

* The school fully and effectively accommodates the interests and abilities of the underrepresented gender.

How the standards apply depends upon your side of the fence. Marilyn McNeil, AD at Monmouth University NJ and Kristen Galles, civil rights litigator at Equity Legal in Virginia, provided two different perspectives.
