Perhaps someone who works directly with Title IX at the collegiate level
can
clarify something for me. . . at the high school level in my state,
participation rates can be considered equitable if one of three factors are
true:
1. the gender ratio of athletes closely approximates the gender ratio of
the
actual student body OR
2. a district can show a continuing pattern of program expansion for the
underrepresented gender, including a clear process to request new sports
and a
"future" plan
OR
3. a student interest survey demonstrates athletic interest is being
served,
i.e. 20% of gender Y says they do not want to play sports and gender Y is
underrepresented by 20%

How does this component of review work at the college level? (Please let
me
know in what capacity you work with Title IX- thanks)

Additionally, at the high school level we look at spending and quality in
various areas, and things like access to publicity avenues, prime time game
scheduling slots, adequacy of competition levels, etc.
