<p>Currently, the University of Southern Mississippi is not in compliance with Title IX. The student population is made up of 64% females and 36% males. However, 53% of all athletic spots on USM's teams are for men. The university is top heavy when it comes to men's sports. We want to change that by adding an NCAA Women's Gymnastics Team to the Athletics Department's roster!</p><p>Bringing Women's Gymnastics to Southern Miss would add 15-20 competitive female spots to USM Athletics. The addition of gymnastics to USM would not only help bring the school into compliance with Title IX, it would also add to the culture and economy of Hattiesburg, MS and the Pine Belt Area. </p><p>If you believe in what a Lady Eagles Gymnastics Team could do for Southern Miss and the Pine Belt community, please sign this petition. Help bring Women's Gymnastics to Southern Miss so we can chant, "Lady Eagles Gymnastics...To the Top!" </p>
