Memo to AD: Don't cut women's sports
You'd think athletics directors would have learned a few lawsuits back that if you have a major disparity between the representation of women on athletic teams and in the study body, you can't cut women's sports. You just can't. Period.
But instead, Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania had to learn the hard way. What makes this decision--to cut women's field hockey, lacrosse, and water polo--particularly boneheaded is that SRU's rival Indiana University of Pennsylvania was the defendant in one of the precedent-setting cases in Title IX litigation.
