"That article was clearly wrong," Goss said, adding that men's soccer would begin in the fall of 2000 and varsity water polo in the spring of 2001. While Newman was the only regents to publicly criticize Goss, others came to his defense. Regent Laurence Deitch (D- Bloomfield fills) said prt of the deficit can be blamed on preserving certain traditions, such as the non-com- mercialization policy inside Michigan Stadium.

"I look at this and say. this guy has not fallen," Deitch said. "Some choices were good and sone cweren't so good ... and I think we have great leadership in Mr. Goss and I look forward to the future:." Regent Kathy White (D-Ann Arbor) said she was pleased with thee department's move toward gender equity despite increased expendi- tures. "Our performance in Title IX and gender equality leads the Big 10 and the nation," Goss said, reporting that Michigan sports are within one per- cent of achieving total gender equi- ty. But with the projected operating sur- plus, Goss said after the meeting that things are looking brighter for the future.
