The University agrees to provide equivalent benefits and opportunities to female and male student athletes with respect to travel and per diem allowances consistent with the requirements of Title IX, the Title IX implementing regulation at 34 C.F.R. § 106.41(c)(4), and applicable OCR policies.
Travel and Per Diem Allowance. The University agrees to provide male and female student athletes equal athletic opportunity with respect to travel and per diem allowances and housing when traveling as required by 34 C.F.R. § 106.41(c)(4). The University will complete a comprehensive assessment of travel, per diem allowances, and housing provided during the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 academic years for male and female student athletes. The assessment will include:
A. A review of the modes or methods of transportation used by each team for each competition, such as institutionally owned, privately owned, or commercial vehicles. Specify the type transportation used, e.g., car, van, bus, or plane;
B. The total per diem or amount spent for each trip for each team and the per diem allowance or amount spent for meals for each athlete for each team;
C. For each team, the number of student athletes on the travel squad for each away game or competition, the location of the game or competition, the names and positions of additional personnel (including coaches, trainers, and student assistants/managers) who traveled with the team to each game or competition, the vehicle(s) used and the capacity of the vehicle(s) used; and

Travel and Per Diem Allowance. The University will provide equal athletic opportunities to males and females in the provision of travel and per diem allowances, particularly with respect to housing furnished during travel.
A. The University will, by June 15, 2017, develop a plan to provide equal opportunities to males and females when teams are in travel status such that its women’s athletic teams, when they stay in hotels during travel, are provided with comparable opportunities as provided to the men’s intercollegiate athletic teams to stay 2 athletes to a room.
B. In assessing compliance with this section of the Agreement, OCR will compare the modes of transportation, housing furnished during travel, length of stay before and after competitive events, per diem allowances, and dining arrangements provided to the University’s male and female athletes when on travel status to determine whether they are equivalent. Identical benefits, opportunities, or treatment are not required as long as the effects of any differences are negligible. If a comparison of the benefits, opportunities and treatment afforded to males and females in the identified program components indicates that benefits, opportunities, or treatment are not equivalent, the University could still be in compliance with Title IX if the differences are shown to be the result of nondiscriminatory factors, such as the unique aspects of particular sports or athletic activities.
Travel and Per Diem Allowance a. The College agrees to provide equivalent benefits and opportunities to female and male student athletes with respect to travel and per diem allowances.
b. By January 31, 2015, the College will complete an assessment of the provision of travel and per diem allowances to ensure that female and male student athletes are provided with equivalent benefits and services in this area. The assessment will include, at a minimum:
i. A review of the modes or methods of transportation used by each team for each competition, such as institutionally owned, privately owned, or commercial vehicles. Specify the type of transportation used, e.g., car, van, bus, or plane.
ii. The per diem allowance for athletes, by team.
iii. For each team, the size of the travel squad and the names and positions of additional personnel (including student assistants) who travel with the team to away games.
iv. For each home and away competition, information on whether the team spent any nights before or after the competition in a hotel.
c. By January 31, 2015, if the College determines that the men’s and the women’s athletic teams are not receiving comparable benefits and opportunities with respect to travel and per diem allowances, the College will develop and, once approved by OCR, implement a plan to ensure that female and male student athletes are provided with equivalent benefits and services in this area. If the College determines that the travel and per diem allowances currently provided to the women’s and men’s athletic programs are comparable, the College will provide to OCR a report outlining that determination and the information, including appropriate documentation upon which it is based.
