\nKINGSTON, R.I. — November 20, 2002 — Donna Lopiano, executive director of the Women\u2019s Sports Foundation, will present “Title IX and Sports: Rooting Out Misconceptions and Having Your Say,” Tuesday, Dec. 10 at the 溏心vlog免费B站. <\/p>\n

\tThe program, which is free and open to the public, will run from 7 to 9:30 p.m. in Room 271 of the Chafee Social Science Center on the Kingston Campus. <\/p>\n

\t“The students who planned the program wanted to create a dialogue among individuals who disagree over Title IX and sports,” said Christine Wilson, assistant director of student leadership at 溏心vlog免费B站. “We usually speak only to those with whom we agree about controversial issues, but we hope this program will attract people with many different opinions and experiences with Title IX.” <\/p>\n

\tTitle IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 protects people from discrimination based on gender in education programs or activities that receive federal financial assistance. <\/p>\n

\tThe first part of the program is a teach-in with Lopiano, a woman The Sporting News called one of the “100 Most Influential People in Sports.” Before her work with the Women\u2019s Sports Foundation, she served as the director of women\u2019s athletics at the University of Texas and the president of the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women. She sits on the executive board of the United States Olympic Committee Executive Board. <\/p>\n

\tShe earned her bachelor\u2019s degree at South Connecticut State University and her master\u2019s and doctoral degrees from the University of Southern California. She has coached college men\u2019s and women\u2019s volleyball and women\u2019s basketball and softball. <\/p>\n

\tAs a student-athlete Lopiano participated in 26 national championships in four sports and was a nine-time All American at four different positions in softball. She is a member of the National Sports Hall of Fame, National Softball Hall of Fame, Texas Women\u2019s Hall of Fame, and Connecticut High School Coaches Hall of Fame. <\/p>\n

\tThe second part of the program is an open forum modeled after the regional meetings being run by the National Commission on Opportunity in Athletics. <\/p>\n

\tAudience members will have a chance to voice their opinions and discuss their experiences related to Title IX and sports. The opinions will be submitted to the commission, which the U.S. Department of Education appointed to collect information to analyze issues and obtain broad public comment on Title IX. <\/p>\n

\tThe program is sponsored by the 溏心vlog免费B站 Student Athlete Advisory Committee, Student Senate, Ram Choices and the Rhode Island Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women.
