Benson said he wanted student government to vote on the issue immediately, calling the issue "urgent."

Even if the resolution is approved, though, Green said the move would be a binding one.

“I don’t think a resolution from student government would change,” she said. “The IM sports department is not under student government.”

LSA senior Jenny Kurnit, an IM soccer player, said she thinks the University's policy should be changed. She said she plays on a co-ed team that features women who all played varsity soccer in high school -- something none of her male teammates did.

"It's an assumption that the guys are going to be better athletically than women," Kurnit said.
