8th By CHRISTOPHER FITZGERALD lime Staff Writer A federal sex discrimination investigation of Penn State may be reopened along with 18 other cases which were closed last March The US Department of Office of Civil Rights had been looking into Penn State's refusal to grant varsity status to the women's soccer club Penn State was notified in March that the department was closing its files on the case because of a ruling by the US Supreme Court Now several women's and educational groups have filed suit against the department saying the department acted too quickly to stop the Title IX investigations Title IX prohibits sex discrimination in programs which receive federal funding The activity comes in the wake of the Supreme Court's Grove City ruling of Feb 28 The court said the government could not restrict all of a school's federal funding if sex discrimination is found in only one area Thus the department closed the soccer club investigation because Penn State's athletic department does not receive federal funds The suit asks the department to take three basic steps according to attorney Sally Goldfarb of the National Law Center: It should stop closing cases until it clarifies what criteria must be met based on the Grove City decision it should issue a policy which makes the criteria dear It should reconsider the cases it has already closed Filed more than three yean ago the soccer club investigation has been "very dormant" according to Steve A Garban Penn State senior vice president for finance and operations "We've had no communications on this for a couple of yean" he said adding that the univenity also has not been informed of the potential for reopening the case Penn State contends that it cannot afford to give the club varsity status The university has likewise dropped several other teams from varsity to club status within the last few years to cut costs Varsity teams have paid coaches and can compete in numerous tournaments closed to clubs The women who filed the discrimination charges have since graduated but there is still interest in varsity status among current club members according to Vance McCullough director of the sports club program basically operates as a varsity team although the coaches are all Mr McCullough said The club mostly plays teams from other schools which have varsity status and has done very well he added certainly been in contention as the best team in the The biggest reason for wanting to be a varsity team is that the club is now able to get into championship Mr McCullough said A spokesman for the education department's civil rights office said that the court's Grove City ruling us of jurisdiction" on such matters "We are now preparing guidance on what cases to close or not to said Cynthia Hilton That interpretation of Grove City is what is at issue said Patricia Smith acting director of public policy for the American Association of University Women one of the groups supporting the lawsuit of our members have been detrimentally affected by the department's interpretation of the Grove City she said want the department to make clear its policy regarding enforcement of Title "The department's interpretation is for narrower than it should Ms Goldfarb the attorney said Several of the 19 investigations involved Intercollegiate athletics she added Others focused on faculty employement health insurance and elementary and secondary school sports 6 PIECE NYLON VELVET DEN SET S0FAv CHAIR ROCKING CHAIR PLUS 2 END TABLES DBL PARTY ucp.
