WILLIAMSBURG, Va. -- William & Mary is reversing an earlier decision to cut three men’s sports and will support the programs through at least the 2021-22 academic year while developing a financial plan to keep them sustainable.
The announcement completes a complete pivot from a Sept. 3 announcement that the men’s sports and four women’s sports would be cut because of COVID-related financial shortfalls.
The university later announced the women’s sports were being reinstated on Oct. 19.
The school also has pledged to complete a gender equity review by this spring and demonstrate its Title IX compliance in the 2022-23 academic year.
