    4. Resolution on Compliance with Title IX of Federal Code (memo attached): The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater is now the object of complaints that allege that the university is not in compliance with provisions of Title IX of the Federal Code, complaints that have prompted the Office for Civil Rights of the Department of Education to schedule in October an investigation of compliance issues on our campus.
                               The Intercollegiate Athletic Committee has as yet (25 September, 2000) received no notice of the complaints      complaints      or of the pending investigation.
                            Neither the university administration nor the Intercollegiate Athletic Committee have made formal efforts to revolve        resolve current complaints related to compliance with Title IX.
                           These facts prompt several questions. Resolved that the Faculty Senate requests that these questions be given      formal         formal public answers by the UW-Whitewater administration.
          •Prior to the current year 2000 efforts to raise Title IX compliance issues, do there still remain unfulfilled Office for Civil Rights mandates concerning compliance with Title IX?
          •The Intercollegiate Athletic Committee has supervisory authority over the resolution of Title IX issues. Why has no notice been given to the Committee of the current complaints.
          •How has the Intercollegiate Athletic Committee attempted to solve past Title IX complaints? What role will the Committe have in the resolution of the current Title IX issues?
