An Inclusive Litany

3/18/98

The Washington Post, November 5, 1997:
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has published the first guidelines used to determine whether sex discrimination exists in the compensation of athletic coaches at the nation's colleges and high schools.

The essence of the 29-page document ... is that salary packages for men and women coaches don't have to be the same but an institution must prove that the reason for any difference is not based on a coach's sex. An institution cannot defend a differential by arguing, for instance, that men's sports produce more revenue.
