Title IX Implications for the DCAC

Title
Title IX Implications for the DCAC
Description
From Sara Pickrell '24's blog post: "On February 2, 1977 the Athletic Director Seaver Peters wrote a memo to Margaret Bonz, an Affirmative Action Officer for the college about the Title IX Implications for the DCAC (Dartmouth College Athletic Council). CC’d on the notice were Aggie Kurtz and Frank Smallwood. This memo was written in response to an earlier memo about the needs expressed by Margaret Bonz on behalf of the women’s athletic program to DCAC. A copy of Peters’ response to the requests by the women are then covered in handwritten notices in the margins by, presumably, Agnes Kurtz. In many of the internal memos between members of the athletic department, especially Agnes Kurtz and Seaver Peters, there are similar notes in similar handwriting, and as only Aggie Kurtz and Frank Smallwood received carbon copies of this memo, the onion skin source is most likely commented upon by one of them. These notes reveal an altogether different, and not entirely seamless relationship between women in the athletic department (Agnes Kurtz) and the predominantly male leadership of the department itself."
