The U.S. Department of Education is going over the University of Iowa athletics department with a fine-toothed comb this week. It’s a Title IX investigation based on “the September 2015 complaint alleging discrimination against women in the athletics program”, the Gazette article says, but the review is going to be pretty comprehensive.
What if…in the course of this investigation, the Department of Education decides that the pink visitors’ locker rooms at Kinnick Stadium constitute a Title IX violation? This line of argument has been tried before.
