"I haven't felt that women are second-class citizens," she said.

"You can't say the Athletics Department isn't trying," Kim agreed.

Kim said she recognized the problems with demanding equality.

"I would like to be able to say [that] we want equal funding. But as a realist, it isn't as easy as that," she said.

Men's soccer player Jordan P. Dupuis '99 also said he recognized unequal funding as a problem but suggested that the situation cannot be remedied.

"It's not necessarily fair, but that's the way it is and there's nothing you can do about it," he said.

President Neil L. Rudenstine would not comment on the report. Radcliffe President Linda S. Wilson, while refusing to comment on specifics, expressed concern over the issue.

"In sports, as in every other arena, it is terribly important that women's aspirations be supported," she said.

Radcliffe College does have a small amount of funding that is allocated to women's sports teams each year.

But there is not enough money in the special Radcliffe fund to balance the inequality between men's and women's sports. There will not be an increase in funding from Radcliffe as a result of the new report, Wilson said
