The subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, at 10 a.m., in room B-352, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Cardiss Collins (chair- woman) pmsiding. Mrs. COLLINS. Good morning. This hearing of the Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Commerce, Consumer Protection and Competitiveness will come to order. Today, we continue with the subcommittee's investigation of gen- der equity in college sports with a distinguished panel of current and former student athletes who have set landmark precedents in the courts to end sex discrimination. Twenty-one years ago, Con- gress passed Title IX of the Education Amendments Act to put an end to sex discrimination in education, including sports. Yet as our previous hearings have shown, discrimination continues. If we were here today to discuss classroom education and we heard stories about how all the young men in the class received free books, pencils, and notebooks, and even all of the seats, while the young women had to buy their own supplies, and stand in the back of the room, you could be sure we would hear protests. So, in the context of an educational experience, why should wom- en's athletic needs be disregarded by so many? We know that our Nation's colleges and universities continue to provide men with more than twice the funding of women in categories ranging from scholarships, recruitment, and operating expenses. Despite the fact that women represent about 50 percent of the enrollment on cam- puses, participation rates are one-third or less at most schools. There is plenty of blame to go around. Colleges continue to refuse to come to terms with the requirements rf Title IX. The National Collegiate Athletic Association refuses to adopt enforceable rules to ensure gender equity. The Office for Civil Rights under the past two administrations failed to enforce the law. As a result, young women, angered by this blatant sex discrimi- nation have been pursuing their rights in court. They have been largely successful. Thank goodness. The witnesses at today's hearing were all plaintiffs in four of the most significant Title IX cases. These courageous women will tell how deeply their lives have been affected by discrimination. They 5 2 will add a human dimension to all the numbers that have been al- ready cited. In reviewing their testimony, Iwas struck by several things. First, the students attempted all reasonable remedieswith their schools before resorting to the courts, but theywere con- stantly thwarted by their schools and the Office for Civil Rights. Second, their requests were extremely modest when comparedto the school's entire athletic budgets. For example, while the men's hockey team at Colgate received over $300,000, thewomen were asking for just $16,000, which was just $4,000more than the men's team stick budget. Third, their requests clearly show that there is indeeda true in- terest in women at colleges to participate in athletics, and that need is not being effectively accommodated,as the law requires. Fi- nally, I was deeply impressed by thecourage that each of

    DRAFT - FOR REVIEW PURPOSES ONLY Land Use & Community Design | 5 SECTION 5 LAND USE & COMMUNITY DESIGN This section provides an assessment of the land use characteristics Today, Romeoville is a dynamic, maturing community located along that comprise the Village of Romeoville and its planning area. the I-55 corridor in northern Will County. The Village covers approx- imately 19 square miles and had a population of almost 40,000, as LAND USE report by the 2010 U.S. Census. Romeoville's growth is attributed to its many unique natural, civic, and transportation assets, including: In many ways, Romeoville has maintained a strong connection to waterfront access to the Des Plaines River and I&M Canal; location its industrial heritage, including access to the railroad, Des Plaines along the historic Route 66 (IL Route 53); premier interstate access; River, and I&M Canal. While industry has diversified in production, a well-regarded regional airport; opportunities for higher education delivery systems, and location away from the waterfront and railroad and towards major roadways, Romeoville still maintains a prominent industrial character, with about 41% of assessed valuation of proper- ty comprised of industrial uses. ROMEOVILLE'S INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE t Since its early railroad days, Romeoville has a long history of industry, even as production has evolved and the delivery network has transitioned from the railroad to the waterfront to the interstate highway system. This industrial heritage will continue to be one of Romeoville’s de- fining characteristics, with an emphasis to improve and expand the commercial base in the future. Local, regional, and national eco- nomic changes over the last decade require a new vision consistent with the aspirations and needs of the Romeoville community.

We are seeking firm, cost proposals from qualified Enterprise Level vendors offering mainstream equipment that is proven and operable in ample numbers of schools in the immediate local area. Implementation of the following equipment list is fully dependent on E-rate approval and the Valley View Community Unit School District 365U Board of Education approval.
