?Opportunities? Quiz

A few days ago I criticized an entry on a Chronicle of Higher Education blog, The Ticker, that found less ?opportunities? for women as coaches and athletic directors based only on evidence that women made up a higher proportion of players than of coaches and ADs.

Now ?The Ticker? is back with news that Appeals Court Reinstates Title IX Wrestling Case Against UC-Davis filed by three female wrestlers. But hold it! Do NOT follow that link until you take the following quiz.

The alleged discrimination consisted of

A. UC Davis refused to create a women?s wrestling team.

B. UC Davis refused to allow the women to join its only wrestling team, consisting to date of men only.

C. UC Davis required the women to compete against male wrestlers and then cut them from the team.

D. UC Davis eliminated its only wrestling team, depriving the women (and men) of the chance to compete.

Those of you with access to The Chronicle: don?t cheat! I?ll post the correct answer in an UPDATE later today.
