The Trib points out that benefits of Title IX and suggest the Bush administration’s decision to not make any changes is a good thing.
Yes it is, and in memory of Paul Wellstone, remember his and Jim Leach’s effort to offer scholarships to those in Olympic Sports–wrestling is one example of this.
On another related Jim Leach note, there is a push to break the wall between commerce and banking–such a move would allow corporations like Walmart to run banks. Leach stopped Clinton and Phil Gramm from doing this during banking reform due to the consequences on the economy as a whole. Connecting the two areas creates intimate ties between industry and banking that leads to all sorts of perverse incentives. Such ties are cited as one reason the German economy is often bogged down during mild downturns. Unfortunately, Leach is no longer head of the relevant committee so such a move may gain steam.
