Mission: What Are You Joining?

As indicated above, EIA will attempt to preserve broad-based athletic programs by suing the U.S. Department of Education to repeal Title IX's “three-part test,” under which schools must have athletic participation proportional to enrollment (prong 1), continually add new teams for one gender without also adding reciprocal sports for the other gender (prong 2), or fully meet one gender’s interests without fully meeting the other gender’s interests (prong 3). Repealing the three-part test would restore the original, interest-based Title IX regulations, thereby lessening the pressure to cut men’s teams and small-roster women’s teams.

While repealing the Three-Part Test could help both men’s and women’s teams by eliminating proportionality’s pressure to cut teams, repeal will remove the protections afforded women’s teams when schools downsize without reaching proportionality. But by eliminating the proportionality-based pressure that inspires many cuts in the first place, both men’s and women’s teams should benefit.
