"I'm doing a research project on Title IX. As I've been researching, I have found that you are involved in the advancement of women's athletics and Title IX. I was wondering if you could answer a few questions for me about my research topic? It would be so helpful. I appreciate all you have done for women's athletics. You don't know how much it means to me! Sports have helped me in so many ways in my life. I'm so grateful for women like you who have strived to keep the dream of athletics possible for girls and women around the nation! Keep it up! Thanks again!"

You're welcome!

1.Do you think the budget management of football could be the blame for the cutting of men's "non-review sports"? If so, what do you think they should do about it? If not, do you think they should do anything about the cutting of men's teams?

Yes. Spend a lot less on football.

2. Do you think they should change any part of the OCR's three part test that shows that schools are in compliance with Title IX? If so what? If not why?

No. The law just needs to be enforced.

3. Do you think women have equal rights now, since Title IX has come into law?

No. We should have 53% of the scholarships and participation opportunities, and it's still just about 42%.

4. How can I make a difference to strengthen Title IX?

Vote for people who support it, talk to people about it, join the Women's Sports Foundation (www.WomensSportsFoundation.org), buy books by people who write about it :-) go to women's sports events at college and pro levels, be an athlete yourself, raise daughters and sons who understand and appreciate the need for equal access to athletic experiences.
