Additional Information
Montana State University has made an investment in gender equity by substantially increasing support for women's athletics. Counting indoor track, outdoor track, and cross country as separate sports, Montana State now sponsors six men's NCAA sports and eight women's NCAA sports as well as men's and women's varsity rodeo teams. The percentage of women participating in intercollegiate athletics has increased from 30% to almost 40% in the past three years. Full time undergraduate student enrollment is approximately 44% female.
Funds are allocated for the maximum number of scholarships in all men's NCAA sports. Golf, volleyball, and basketball are allocated funds for the maximum number of scholarships; women's tennis and women's track/cross country scholarships are 80% of the maximum but will reach 100% by fall, 1998. Nordic skiing was added in
1996-97; scholarships in women's skiing are at 65% of the maximum and will reach 100% by fall, 2000. Travel budgets are similar for all sports, depending on whether they are team sports or individual sports. Team sports travel more by air, and individual sports travel more by surface transportation. All sports have the same per diem allotment and hotel allowance. Two 15 passenger vans are available for all sports by reservation through the Department of Athletics.
Recruiting budgets have shown a significant disparity between men's and women's sports for many years. This year, 1996-97, marks the first significant movement of recruiting funds to more equitable levels between men's and women's sports.
