The College Sports Council and the Independent Women's Forum today issued a national appeal on the 36th anniversary of the passage of Title IX calling on men and women to work together to effect "straightforward and common-sense" reform of Title IX regulations.

The CSC invites everyone in the Olympic Sports community to add their names to the petition.

The text of the petition, with lead signatories Jessica Gavora of the College Sports Council (www.collegesportscouncil.org) and Allison Kasic of the Independent Women's Forum (www.iwf.org), is as follows:

WHEREAS ... Today, June 23, 2008 marks the 36th anniversary of the passage of Title IX ...

WHEREAS . Men's collegiate athletic teams are being eliminated and rosters are being capped at an alarming rate in order to comply with the "proportionality" enforcement prong ...

WHEREAS . Women collegiate athletes are being robbed of their training partners, teammates and biggest supporters when men's teams are eliminated ...

WHEREAS . Straightforward and common-sense fixes to the enforcement mechanism are already available - such as a simple survey that would allow any student, male or female, to express interest and be given opportunity ...

WHEREAS ... The law's current method of enforcement is discriminating against male athletes and artificially limiting opportunities to participate ...

WHEREAS ... The current tenor of the debate over the future of Title IX sets up a zero sum contest pitting men against women that hurts the collective cause of all college athletes ...

BE IT RESOLVED ... That men and women across the country come together to discuss and implement a set of common sense reforms to Title IX enforcement that maximizes the opportunities of all college athletes regardless of gender.

WE THE UNDERSIGNED ...

Jessica Gavora, Vice President for Policy, College Sports Council Allison Kasic, Director of the R. Gaull Silberman Center for Collegiate Studies at the Independent Women's Forum
