Title IX Self-Evaluation, University of Minnesota, The Coordinate Campuses: Crookston, Duluth, Morris, Waseca (1976-07)

Abstract

A workshop designed to explain the implications of Title IX and to initiate the self-evaluation process was held on each coordinate campus in March of 1976. It was conducted by Vice President Walter Bruning; Lillian H. Williams, Director of the Office of Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action; Ann M. Pflaum, Title IX Coordinator; and Gary Engstrand, Athletics Consultant. Each coordinate campus established its own unit committees to generate information, as required by the 95 questions and the regulations. The responses were reviewed first by the Coordinate Campus Policy Review Committee and then by the Vice Presidents' Policy Review Committee from an institution wide perspective. All of the policies relevant to the institutional self-evaluation under Title IX are system-wide University policies governing activities in all locations. Because the four coordinate campuses are administered with substantial autonomy and fulfill missions distinctive from those of the Twin Cities Campus, however, each coordinate campus was asked to establish its own policy reveiw [sic] committee. Each conducted its own campus review and reported to the Vice Presidents' Policy Review Committee. The results are therefore reported in two forms in the University self-evaluation: as campus reports on the complete range of regulations and as portions of the reports on specific sections of the regulations (e.g., housing). Reports of the individual coordinate campuses follow this introduction. This summary will not duplicate the detailed information available elsewhere in the report, but it will provide a general overview of the self-evaluation process and the compliance activities on the coordinate campuses.
