It's a case of raise the bridge or lower the water. The original post was an FYI. NIU is trying to stay in compliance, and deserves credit for that. At this point, as noted, it appears to be an update for the athletic board and trying to stay ahead of the curve. The link to the EMU story was just to provide one version of a discussion of the issues. Make a mountain out of a molehill if you want, but I see no reason to hit the panic button. (How's that for a string of cliches.)
