New Title IX guidelines . . .
From Page One
Walker said he was concerned about who would fund the women's athletic program as it developed. Currently the women's sports teams and a portion of the student activity fee.
"Hopefully, I will meet with the administration shortly to discuss the future of the women's program." Walker said. "We have decided to go through the first year under the current setup, and then after a year's time, look into the situation and try to decide the administrative role and place of women's athletics."
WASHINGTON SAID SHE was happy with the way the women's athletic program had developed in its first year and was optimistic that the program could continue to progress without having to rely on Title IX guidelines to do so.
"Maybe I'm an idealist, but I just would like to feel that we need not in need of Title IX
to solve our problems," she said. "I think in terms of facilities, maybe we'll need it. But overall, this administration at the University of Kansas made its move and promoted women's athletics because it saw a value in them. But I'll be very honest with you, if that's what is necessary, that's what we'll do."
Washington said the women's athletic program at the University suffered from inadequate facilities. Title IX says "a recipient may provide separate toilet, locker room and shower facilities on the floor of a building provided by students of one sex shall be comparable to such facilities provided for students of the other sex."
WASHINGTON SAID, "My office is a locker room, it's a meet place, and I have equipment in this place that I shouldn't have to keep in here.
"I in need of an area for a trainer. I have one of the best trainers in the country, and she needs whirlpool and pools."
Walker said a major problem in complying with Title IX would be providing comparable facilities for men and women. He said he thought the proposed addition to Robinson Gymnasium would be a viable solution to the problem.
"Of course I'm getting suggestions that Robinson is going to be the answer," Washington said, "but what we right now are a locker room here at the Field House. Robinson provides for both men and women, and I think it's important to provide for both men and women over here. So I'm in the process now of trying to explore what
Washington said the women's program would need better facilities in Allen Field House, even if the Robinson addition were completed.
options I may have, in order to come up with something for them to at least lay their jackets on."
Washington said that besides facility disparities, disparities between the salaries of men and women administrators were a problem for the women's program.
Title IX affects other operations of federally funded institutions besides athletes and physical education. University Counsel Mike Davis declined to comment on the issue. The university asked University as a whole, saying he hadn't adequate time to study the guidelines.
