Tilt1 University Senate is scheduled to vote today on a gender equi
ty resolution that would call for some major changes within the ath
letic department, including the addition of 25 participation slots
within five years in the women's athletic program
In order to gam a perspective on the athletic
department's view toward the resolution, the
Emerald spoke with associate athletic director
Barbara Walker Walker supervises Oregon's
non-revenue sports and servos ns the athletic
department's primary administrator for I’at if
ic-10 Conference ana NCAA mutters
()I)K: Does the athletic department have an
official stance toward the gender equity reso
lution proposed by the Intercollegiate Athletic Committee?
Barbara Walker: We're in total agreement with that statement. We
were involved in the formulation of the policy. Again though, there
are u lot of unanswered questions nationally on this subject and on
what is exactly gender equity We re waiting to see what is being
done nationally and at the conference level, and trying to be pro
active in developing our own policy as well,
ODE: Even though the resolution would not In? binding to the ath
letic department, would the athletic department try to implement the
proposals in the resolution?
Walker: I think we'll look very strongly at adding an additional
women's sport within the next five years. As 1 read the proposal, the
resolution calls for 25 more participants, not 25 more full-ride schol
arships. A soccer or swimming team would have 25 participants, not
25 scholarships.
Those would probably be the sports we would look at. as each of
those sports has around 20-25 squad members. Crew is also becom
ing a popular sport on the West (Ukist, and many Pac-10 schools are
now fielding a crew team.
ODE: Right now, Oregon has the minimum number of men's and
women's sports necessary to remain a Division I school Is it possi
ble the addition of a women's team might be at the cost of a men's
team?
