Title IX Compliance We want to be wholly compliant with Title IX because we believe in our female student- athletes and what they bring to our campus. Their academic performance is very high and they graduate at high rates as well. Part 1: The Three Prong Test Don t meet any test Proportionality Expansion Accommodating Interest
Title IX Compliance Proportionality The first test is to review is whether the number of male and female students enrolled in the schools programs is proportional to the number of male and female students in the entire student body. McLennan Community College student body is 68% female and 32% male The ratio in the athletic department is 38% female and 62% male
Title IX Compliance Expansion If a school fails to satisfy the first test, it may still comply with Title IX by meeting the requirements of Title IX compliance, which focuses on program expansion. The school must demonstrate a history and continuing practice of expanding athletic opportunities for female students to align with their interest. 1997 Men s Tennis was discontinued at McLennan Community College 1998 Women s Tennis was discontinued at McLennan Community College As many as 16 additional opportunities lost for female student athletes 1999 2000 Intercollegiate Softball was approved which created those 16 opportunities lost when women's tennis was discontinued Softball program has grown with an additional 8 more opportunities for female athletes through expansion of additional housing in the fall of 2019
Title IX Compliance Accommodating Interest This allows schools with disproportionate athletic programs, which are not currently expanding, to comply with Title IX by demonstrating that their existing programs adequately accommodates the interest of female students. In other words, if a school can show that there is no additional interest from female students to participate in an expanded athletic program, it can be considered in compliance with Title IX.
