Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Title IX requires schools to meet one of three prongs: proportionality, program expansion, or accommodation of interests. Proportionality means that the percentage of female athletes in intercollegiate athletics should be roughly equivalent to the percentage of female students at the university. Program expansion means creating new women's sports teams in order to provide equal opportunities for female athletes. Accommodation of interests means that schools must show that they are meeting the athletic interests and abilities of the underrepresented sex. Therefore, choice D is the best answer since it includes all three prongs.
