Tammy Swearingen is currently the assistant athletic director along with being the head volleyball coach. She remembers coming to Westminster and having to deal with Title IX issues as a coach. She also remembers a situation in high school when the junior varsity boys team was given priority in the gym over the varsity girls team. Title IX was established at the time, but not strictly enforced. Swearingen then preceded to the athletic director’s office because of the Title IX violation. She says from that situation they started to take Title IX seriously. Swearingen goes on to say, "we are not just girls anymore; we are the varsity team so we get to use the big gym that we play our games in." Other than that, Swearingen hasn't dealt with too many problems dealing with Title IX.
