Re: Steph Helping out all the LadyCats !
seamac and I were part of the first class at Davidson with women enrolled as freshmen/women/persons. From day one, we were told they were just as smart and deserving as the men. I couldn't understand what the fuss was about. The valedictorian of the high school I graduated from was usually a female.
The college should have a campaign to endow as many women's athletic scholarships as possible. Our women's basketball program has 13 scholarships and they should have 15. Perhaps the Currys could offer to match what the alumni raise. If it ends up being more than 2 scholarships, move the surplus to another women's sport.

In discussions of affirmative action, I have been known to cite Davidson’s commitment to having approximately equal number of male and female students.

This is about all women’s sports. I suspect WBB will get very little of this money until the other sports catch up. Presently WBB gets approx half of all scholarship dollars for women athletes.
Re: Steph Helping out all the LadyCats !
The money can go wherever a big donor or Chris Clunie direct it, but we are 86.7% funded in women's basketball. If we add two more scholarships, we can win the A10 Tournament and secure a bid to the NCAA Tournament. If we do that, money will flow to women's basketball and other women's sports.
We've been short handed in women's basketball the last two years and have not had enough scholarship players to replace injured starters. Our conference opponents have 15 scholarships for women's basketball.
We finished a capital campaign recently. Wasn't some of the money raised for endowed scholarships in women's sports?

Re: Steph Helping out all the LadyCats !
The link Steve Lee provided in the other thread tells us Davidson provided 36.14 scholarships for Women's Sports and 36.98 for Men's in '20-'21.
The 26 scholarships mentioned in the Curry Women's Sports Initiative may be referring to endowed scholarships.
Davidson needs more endowed scholarships for Women and Men. If an athlete receives an endowed scholarship, it eliminates or reduces their need for financial aid, freeing up that money for another student.
