Tusinski: CSU's women's hockey team deserves your support, not sexism

Tusinski: CSU’s women’s hockey team deserves your support, not sexism

Dylan Tusinski, Staff Reporter December 8, 2022
First and foremost: Yes, Colorado State University has a Division I women's hockey team, and they're really good. The team is currently sitting at fourth in the standings with an 8-5-0 record to start the season. They've won multiple games with points in the double digits, including a 16-0 blowout against rival University of Wyoming. Even with all their success, the team was the subject of sexist harassment that underscores a problematic culture within the hockey community.

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 offers governmentally regulated protection from sex-based discrimination in schools and programs that are provided with federal financial assistance.

The discussion of Title IX, specifically within a collegiate setting, is not uncommon. It is a topic mentioned in classrooms, lecture halls and even in passing conversations on campus among students. But seldom do those discussions lead beyond the notion of the amendment giving women equal opportunities within sports.  Although true, and playing a pivotal role in the popularity of Title IX, there is much more to the amendment than equal sporting opportunities that a regular student should be able to comprehend.

Stella: Let’s look for and celebrate women leaders at CSU

Michael Stella, Staff Reporter December 5, 2022
In 2019, Joyce McConnell was named the first woman president in Colorado State University's more than 150-year history. Then, over last summer and after a mutual agreement with the CSU System Board of Governors, her tenure of only three years came to an end. The decision to let McConnell go was not only a shortsighted move for the university in a number of ways, but it also comes at a time when women's voices need to be elevated.
