Westhampton College was at least 2 years behind major competitors at meeting the specifications of Title IX by 1978. The assistant athletic director, Carol Reese, argues that there has been progress since the University now provides practice uniforms and shoes to in women's sports, but not a single woman on a varsity team had a scholarship. Additionally, with the integration of Title IX, women’s sports will now be broken down to divisional classifications just like men. Carol Reese claims that Westhampton College is behind other schools due to the lack of funding: “It takes money to build up a competitive program."

UR was the largest privately supported university in the state of Virginia. Regional director of HEW Dr. Eloise Severinson suggested that involving African Americans into all phases of the University (students, faculty, and board of trustees) would help remove the image of an all white institution. HEW had asked the Virginia Governor Holton to create a college desegregation plan, however, only state-supported colleges would need to abide. Dr. Modlin has refused to comment on the HEW remarks and Dr. Severinson had requested a reply regarding HEW's non-discriminatory recommendations by October 1. At the time, UR had 4,000 students at the university, with six black students enrolled at Richmond College, and had hired one black teacher at Richmond College and one at University College (referred to as the West End branch in the article).

Byrd Jr. called on President Nixon and the secretary of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) for the immediate removal of Dr. Eloise Severinson, HEW's regional director for Virginia. Byrd criticized Severinson's decisions, especially over her demands on educational institutions, which would "require lowering academic standards." Byrd made these claims of lowered standards after Severinson informed state schools that they would need to integrate in order to continue receiving federal funding under the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Byrd argued the majority of state voters were against Dr. Severinson's changes to the education system in Virginia. Dr. Severinson had warned the College of William and Mary that they would lose $1 million a year in federal funding if they did not meet desegregation requirements of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Not only does Byrd want Dr. Severinson removed from HEW, but kept out of any leadership roles within the state.</a> Subject The topic of the resource College integration College of William and Mary College presidents College students, Black Southern States United States.
