DEMONSTRATION OF CURRENT COMPLIANCE. The University agrees to provide participation opportunities in its intercollegiate athletics program for female and male students that equally and effectively accommodate the athletic interests and abilities of members of both sexes, consistent with the requirements of Title IX, the Title IX implementing regulation at 34 C.F.R. § 106.41(c)(1), and applicable OCR policies. Accordingly, the University plans to demonstrate compliance with the Three-Part test used by OCR to assess whether the interests and abilities of members of both sexes are being effectively accommodated to the extent necessary to provide an equal opportunity to participate in intercollegiate athletics by documenting that the interests and abilities of students who are members of the underrepresented sex have been fully and effectively accommodated by the University’s current intercollegiate athletics program (Part 3 of the “Three-Part Test”) by the dates set forth in Part II, actions to increase athletic opportunities. Each part of the Three-Part Test is an equally sufficient and separate method of complying with the Title IX regulatory requirement to provide nondiscriminatory athletic participation opportunities. The University has elected to demonstrate compliance by meeting Part 3 but continues to have the option to choose the part of the Three-Part Test with which it will comply. If the University determines that the intercollegiate level participation opportunities for male and female students are provided in numbers substantially proportionate to their respective enrollments, the University will notify OCR. In determining substantial proportionality, the University agrees that:
a. Enrollment rates will be calculated using the full-time undergraduate enrollment numbers by sex; and
b. The participation rates of female and male students will reflect the total number of females and males listed on the NCAA squad list for each intercollegiate sport on the date of the first competition for each sport. The participation rates should not include participants in intramural, club or noncompetitive athletic activities.
A. Accommodation of student interests and abilities
1. A survey of students and admitted students or other information collected from students and admitted students using a method that is designed to fully and accurately assess unmet athletic interests and abilities in intercollegiate sports among members of the underrepresented sex. A copy of the draft survey will be submitted...

Accordingly, by November 20, 2012, the University will demonstrate that during the 2011-2012 school year the amount of athletic scholarships and/or grants-in-aid it awarded to male and female athletes was substantially equal to their intercollegiate athletic participation rates, after taking into consideration any legitimate, nondiscriminatory reasons for any differences.

2. LSU will examine whether there are any legitimate, nondiscriminatory explanations for any differences that exist, such as differences related to reasonable professional decisions appropriate for program development, and adjust the total amounts of aid to take those differences into account.
3. After taking all legitimate, nondiscriminatory explanations into account LSU will compare the intercollegiate athletic participation rates of male and female students to the rates at which athletic scholarships and/or grants-in-aid are awarded to male and female athletes and determine whether any resultant disparity is less than or equal to 1% of the entire budget for athletic scholarships and/or grants-in-aid. By November 20, 2012, LSU will provide OCR with a detailed report, with copies of supporting documents, reflecting the University’s evaluation of the awarding of athletic financial assistance to the University’s female and male intercollegiate athletes pursuant to the AFA Section I.A. of this Agreement. The report will include, at a minimum, a copy of the participation data that the University relied on in determining the number of male and female students in the University’s intercollegiate athletics program, a copy of team squad or eligibility lists for each sport showing students, by sex, and the amounts of athletic...
