In an effort to remain Title IX compliant, the Academic Senate agreed Tuesday to look into the possibility of cutting men’s sports or roster counts as an alternative to adding women’s sports.
Academic Senate members approved a motion at the end of the meeting to create two reports for the Board of Trustees, with one considering adding two women’s sports and one considering reducing the number of male athletes at CMU.
Multiple senate members suggested the possibility of eliminating the football program or swapping it with a soccer program because of the large number of male athletes on the team.
