Why did the Gender Equity Plan Task Force decide to comply with Title IX using Prong 1 rather than Prong 2 or Prong 3?
Please refer to our website on the REVIEW & FINDINGS webpage (www.csufresno.edu/taskforce/findings.shtml). The answer can be found on Slides 8 11 of the PowerPoint presentation. In short, Fresno State currently is in compliance with Prong I of Title IX in that it offers participation opportunities for male and female student-athletes in proportion to the current full-time undergraduate enrollment for men and women. For this reason, both Prong II (less than full compliance in light of a history and continuing practice of program expansion for the underrepresented sex) and Prong III (less than full compliance due to a determination that the underrepresented sex is not as interested or does not have the athletic ability to compete at the Division I level) do not apply to Fresnos program.
