Previous Week’s Discussion

• Haldane:
  • Seeking clarification on whether our investigation of alternative admissions assistance precedes decision on varsity pursuit
• Lisi:
  • If varsity path is chosen, alignment with women is a must since:
    • We can help the women take advantage of NCAA initiative
    • Equity should ultimately help men’s team
• Frech:
  • Desires men’s and women’s collaboration and united front
  • Women have been looking at how to get to a higher level of competition. Decided upon varsity pathway.
  • Now part of Collegiate Rugby Association of America, same umbrella org as men
• Trenary:
  • Agrees with men’s and women’s alignment
  • Need to clarify whether this alignment is dependent on men’s pursuit of varsity
