Offering only a warning to schools thinking of cutting men's sports teams, the Bush Administration said that it would not make any changes to the controversial Tide IX law.

A presidential commission charged with reviewing the effects of the 31-year-old legislation had proposed tweaking the law to prevent universities and colleges from eliminating men's teams. That action had been taken by some institutions as a way of complying with Title IX, which seeks to provide equal opportunities to women and men in athletics.

But Gerald Reynolds, assistant secretary in the Office of Civil Rights, responded in a July statement that there was broad support across the country for Title IX. She added that many schools were led to believe "erroneously that they must take measures to ensure strict proportionality between the sexes."

"OCR hereby clarifies that nothing in Title IX requires the cutting or reduction of teams in order to demonstrate compliance with Title IX, and that the elimination of teams is a disfavored practice," Reynolds wrote.
