Title

"AIAW Rejects NCAA Move to Run Meets: Wants Equal Voice for Women" In the Running Article

Description

Article written for the Fall 1980 issue of "In the Running" a project of the Women's Equity Action League Educational and Legal Defense Fund. The article details the proposal by the NCAA to hold post-season playoffs in several women’s sports for lower division schools in the fall of 1981 and the resulting conflict with the AIAW, which had hosted the organized athletics for women since 1971. The article describes the establishment of the AIAW in contrast to practices and male-controlled NCAA and argues for the continued control of women’s athletics by the AIAW. (AIAW stands for Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women.)

I would like permission to include this article in a book about the 50 years of women's track & field and cross-country at the University of Minnesota.  Proceeds from the book will go to the women's program at the University of Minnesota.  The book will cover the beginnings of women's collegiate athletics from Title IX, through the administration by AIAW and then the NCAA, covering the results and stories of pioneering women athletes at Minnesota.
