The bill to repeal the [U]law[/U] (it's not just a regulation that someone dreamed up) would never even come up for hearings in a committee let alone for a vote. Too many legislators are women or have daughters to even have it considered. As it is, the Department of Education feels it is cutting the colleges a ton of slack through their current interpretation that you mock and haven't gone in for strict enforcement of the percentages, which would probably leave football and basketball as the only male sports. At one of my class reunions, it was mentioned that the largest (and unmentioned) affirmative action program for colleges is letting in darned-near any male students. UVa would be 70% female if they didn't have that program in place and went strictly by transcripts/scores. [/QUOTE]
