lb wPHhI , f . ;^HCjHBnhT V9 <a > Women's at hie men's program Alternate rejected \ By Kimberly Cihlar Gamecock Staff Writer The Department of Health. Education and Welfare has rejected the alternative Sanford Plan to Title IX which would allow universities to allocate athletic funds according to their own needs in a non-discriminatory manner. However, HEW has incorporated the main provisions of the alternative plan. HEW allows no sex discrimination in educational and athletic programs. Title IX regulations require each university to give its women's iiuiii-u<j yiugiauis at> niuen iunuing as it does its men's programs. The Sanford Plan, endorsed by USC President James B. Holderman, was compiled by a coalition of colleges and universities to allow individual institutions to determine compliance with Title IX. HEW PUBLISHED a proposed policy interpretation Dec. 11, 1978, and received more than 700 comments and recommendations in response. Department officials then met with many colleges and university officials, including athletic associations, athletic directors and woman's richfe organizations. HEW representatives visited eight universities during June and July 1979, checking how the proposed policy and other alternatives would work in actual practice at individual campuses. The final policy interpretations are a composite of the comments HEW received and the results of the campus visits. The major changes to the proposed policy interpretations of December 1979 took place in the general format. The proposed form was based on a two-part approach. Part I called for equal opportunity for athletic programs' participants. A school would have been in compliance if the average per capita funding for both female and male athletics was fairly equal in the area of financial benefits and opportunities and if the benefits and opportunities not financially measurable were comparable. PART II required an institution to develop its women's athletic program, broaden participation and competition opportunities and demonstrate equal accommodation of athletic interests and abilities of women and men. The final policy interpretation makes no separate mention of an instituion's future responsibilities. Usually, these involve the development of athletic programs with substantially expanded opportunities for women in participation and competition at all levels. The reasons for the changes included the need for clear guidance on what constituted >tic programs deserve as much i s, according to HEW. i funding k.. 'UCII7 jy new complaince. The department, therefore, decided that stating actual compliance factors would be better for all concerned. A purely financial measure was not conclusive of discrimination, except in the case of a scholarship where the nature of the benefit under review was financial. VW\I l/'t? * - nr. 1 mif rpreiauon provides a way to determine an institution's compliance with the equal opportunity requirements of the Title IX regulations. When a recipient of federal aid is found in noncompliance, and voluntary compliance attempts are unsuccessful, procedures will be started to stop assistance. The main thesis of the proposed Sanford Plan included in the final policy interpretations is selfassessment and institutional planning. Each institution would be able to apply and plan what is right for it and its own athletic program. Any institution participating in the assessment and planning process would reach or move toward full compliance. Also, any institution having problems complying but is implementing a plan found acceptable by the department will be found in compliance. I FILTERS I 2 fori FUJICA STX35mm SLR $16!
