Mr. Labarbara:
First, thank you very much for taking the time out of your schedule to answer the questions posed on this board.
My questions concern the feasibility of resurrecting golf as a varsity sport at Valparaiso. A poster on the main board was inquiring as to the reasons why at present VU does not have either a men’s or women’s golf team. Can you opine as to those reasons and perhaps give us an indication of the likelihood of the resurrection of golf as a varsity sport in the future, now that the University will be joining the Horizon league?
Also, what considerations would Title IX play in the determination of whether the men’s golf program could be resurrected? Would you be able to further elaborate on what effect, if any, the 2005 revised Title IX Federal compliance guidelines involving web or e-mail surveys would have on the University’s ability to sanction men’s golf as a varsity sport in future years?
