Title IX Compliance - Recruitment of Student-Athletes

Determining compliance involves a review of: opportunities for coaches or other personnel to recruit; whether financial and other resources are equivalently adequate; and the treatment of prospective student-athletes.

Coaches in the women’s and men’s programs are provided opportunities to recruit. Financial resources for recruitment are proportionate to men’s and women’s rate of participation. The numbers of fully and partially subsidized visits provided to male and female prospective athletes are generally proportionate to men’s and women’s current rate of participation. Similar treatment is provided in regard to transportation, housing, dining and entertainment benefits provided such treatment of prospective athletes is comparable.

Beginning with the 2004-05 academic year, the Vice-President for Student Services earmarked and additional $10,000 to assist women’s sport coaches in the recruitment of prospective female student-athletes. This allocation was also committed during the 2005-06 and the 2006-07 academic years.
