Colleges & Universities Committee
On Wednesday, the Colleges & Universities Committee held a public hearing and heard testimony on AB 378.
Assembly Bill 378
Relating to: designating University of Wisconsin and technical college sports and athletic teams based on the sex of the participants.
Title IX is a civil rights law that was created in 1972 by the federal government recognizing the biological distinction between men and women, and the need to assure women and girls are not discriminated against in educational programs or activities, codifying equal opportunities to compete on a level playing field in sports.
The “Save Women’s Sports Act” is based on this biological science. It safeguards equality and protects the athletic excellence of girls and women competing in sports, while also upholding Title IX’s original intent based on the general biological distinction between men and women athletes based on sex.
Additionally, this proposal assures all athletes, male, female, and nonbinary are in a category that provides them the greatest desired safety as well as opportunity to perform on a level, competitive playing field.
