Women are half the human race, and they're half of history, as well. History helps us learn who we are, but when we don't know our own history, our power and dreams are immediately diminished. Stop by our table and take a chance on what you know and what you don't know about the impact(s) women have made throughout history yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Queer Reels, Real Topics Film Series: “Training Rules”
Office of LGBTQIA & Women & Gender Studies
SUB Lubbock Room
Rene Portland had three training rules during her 26 years coaching basketball at Pennsylvania State University - no drinking, no drugs and no lesbians. Training Rules, examines how a wealthy athletic department, enabled by the silence of a complacent university, allowed talented athletes, thought to be gay, to be dismissed from their college team.
In 2006, student athlete Jennifer Harris, in conjunction with the National Center for Lesbian Rights, filed charges against Pennsylvania State University and basketball coach Rene Portland for discrimination based on sexual orientation. This lawsuit inspired others whose lives were shattered during Coach Portland's reign to come forward. The film focuses on these individuals and investigates why organizations, established to protect these athletes have done so little to end this common form of victimization. Training Rules serves as a wake-up call to the many athletic departments nationwide that still discriminate against their student athletes and coaches.
