CALLER 1: I have a question. I just wanted to know why the
Gavilan softball team, for the last five or so weeks, has been
denied use of its fundraising money? Has the baseball team been
able to use theirs? Let me know. Thanks.

GREEN PHONE: Callers, there has been a lot of talk recently about Gavilan’s handling of women’s sports. As with most things, there are two sides to every story. Fortunately, the Office of Civil rights has already begun its investigation of Gavilan College’s Title IX compliance regarding the softball program. While this investigation is going to take weeks, perhaps months, the Green Phone is confident all will be revealed about this controversy, and more importantly, that justice will be served when the investigation is complete. In the meantime, we’ll continue to look into the issues and allegations you bring up in your calls. Sadly, what’s being overlooked amidst the current controversy is that the softball team just completed one of its most successful seasons in school history with 20 wins, four team members earned All–Conference honors and head coach Tim Kenworthy was named Coast Conference Southern Division Coach of the Year.
