Legislation intended to safeguard equal treatment of male and female college athletes is failing, according to a USA Today Investigation. The Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act (EADA)—passed in 1996—requires co-ed institutions that participate in a Title IX federal assistance program to submit an annual report to the Department of Education by October 15. The act aims to guide schools in balancing expenditures for men’s and women’s teams. But 41 schools, making up more than 34 percent of NCAA Division I-A athletic programs, reported at least...
...numerous possibilities for the fall concert in April. The UC did hold several “emergency sessions” to help streamline the process.

As an alternative to secret balloting, card check neutrality may allow greater anonymity because workers do not vote for unions in public forums but rather submit union endorsement cards as a coalition, explained Jack Mahoney, a Georgetown student labor activist, at the meeting. “Secret ballot...
...milestone in American life. At that age, a U.S. citizen often is asked to gamble things far more serious than their money: their lives. As soon as U.S. citizens turn 18, they are eligible to be drafted into the army; high schools in America are required by law to submit information on all 18- year-old males to the federal government in case of a draft. Many Americans choose to join the army of their own free will at this age—choosing to risk their lives for the sake of their country. But at 18, American still...
