The College of St. Scholastica

Title IX expects athletics programs to treat its male and female student-athletes equally with regard to the following areas:

1. The provision of equipment and supplies
2.  Scheduling of games and practice time
3. Travel and per diem allowance
4. Opportunity to receive coaching and academic tutoring
5. Assignment and compensation of coaches and tutors;
6. Provision of locker rooms, practice and competitive facilities
7. Provision of medical and training facilities and services
8. Provision of housing and dining facilities and services
9. Publicity
10. Recruitment

Equity in this area means that there is equality when assessing how men as compared to women are treated in the aggregate in these areas. 

For example, men and women that play the same sport would not necessarily receive the same benefits, but that an equitable number of men and women are treated alike. Also, because sports differ, they require different gear, medical attention, numbers of coaches, among other things. Accordingly, The College of St Scholastica’s Athletic Department believes that student-athletes should be treated equally given the unique features of their sports.

No matter the source of the funds used to support student athlete financial aid and treatment (e.g., fund-raised, donated, contractually-secured), CSS will treat student-athletes equitably in its support of their participation.

The Athletic Department’s staff members and student athletes will be required to train annually on the Institution’s Title IX policy and procedures.
