Section II
Expenditures
The table below summarizes the expenditures for women and men's
athletic programs for the 1992-93 and 1998-99 academic years.
CAMPUS EXPENDITURES ON MEN'S AND WOMEN'S
INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETIC TEAMS
1992-1998
As indicated, expenditures for women's intercollegiate athletic
programs in the CSU have increased from $11.2 million in 1992-93
to $41 million in 1998-99. This represents an increase in expenditures
of 266 percent. During the same period, expenditures for men's
programs grew from $33.4 million to $48 million, an increase
of 44 percent.
The decree called for each CSU campus to have expenditures
for women's programs to be within ten percent of the percentage
of NCAA-eligible women undergraduates on each campus. Based
on single-year eligibility data (fall 1998 NCAA eligibility
figures, Table 1a), fifteen of the nineteen CSU campuses achieved
the target percentages in the area of expenditures during the
1998-99 academic year. Based on single-year eligibility data
as reflected in fall 1998 eligibility reports, four campuses
did not achieve the standard for expenditures in 1998-99. Variance
from the standard ranged from 0.14 percent at CSU Stanislaus,
to 0.74 percent at CSU Fresno, 0.75 percent at CSU San Diego,
and 3.19 percent at CSU Northridge.
San Diego State allocated money that would have fully achieved
the standard, but women athletes chose not to participate in
summer school, which caused the campus to miss the standard
by 0.75 percent. CSU Northridge has provided a report on its
efforts and plans to meet this standard in section IV of the
report. The inability of CSU Stanislaus and CSU Fresno to meet
the target for expenditures is a result of a significant increase
in female student enrollment over the past two years, which
resulted in the eligibility percentage for women in fall 1998
to be higher than the three-year average.
