What happens if a school does comply with Title IX Not a whole lot
Nestled among Lexington’s rolling hills, the University of Kentucky is steeped in horse culture. Some of the best thoroughbreds in the world graze in wide-fenced paddocks outside campus. A premiere academic program draws many students to the school, which boasts eight club teams dedicated to equine sports.
Yet it does not sponsor an NCAA Division I equestrian team.
It’s not for lack of interest or demand.
Rather, the school has had overwhelming student support for adding a varsity team going back decades – and a federal investigation that should have prompted it to respond to that demand.
Instead of adding an equestrian team – or other sports that hundreds of women have shown interest in over the years – the school has pushed back.
For nine years, the university has fought against its aspiring female athletes and the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights, which is tasked with enforcing the landmark gender equity law, Title IX. The agency found the school out of compliance with Title IX for not offering women enough athletic opportunities. Since then, the school has questioned the way the agency interprets the law, balked at requests to add teams, denied violations, and it continues to shortchange women.
That it has done so without consequence, gender equity advocates and others say, is a symptom of a federal agency that’s ineffective at ensuring the nation’s schools comply with the 50-year-old law.
