Book More Hurdles to Clear

Download or read book More Hurdles to Clear written by United States Commission on Civil Rights and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication reviews the history of women and girls in athletics, assesses the current status of female participation in high school and college competitive athletics, and summarizes recent policy interpretations by the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (dhew) of Title ix of the Education Amendments of 1972. The historical review focuses on American attitudes toward female physicality from the Victorian era to the present. Current obstacles to female participation in sports are identified as sex stereotyping of athletics as unfeminine, the idea that females should not engage in strenuous activity, and discrimination in the allocation of resources for sports. The role of Title ix (which prohibits sex discrimination in Federally-assisted education programs) in ameliorating discrimination in athletics is explained. Changes in female participation in competitive athletics since 1970 are described and related to the implementation of Title ix. Participation figures, by sex, are presented separately for high schools, two year colleges, and four year colleges, and are broken down individually for football, baseball/softball, basketball, tennis, and track. Also described are college budget allocations for men's and women's intercollegiate sports. Appended to the report are statistical tables and discussions and regulations concerning DHEW's jurisdiction under Title ix. (Gc).

Book Academic Performance of Multi Sport and Single Sport Intercollegiate Distance Runners

Download or read book Academic Performance of Multi Sport and Single Sport Intercollegiate Distance Runners written by Rachael S. Raymond and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The current study was designed to investigate if differences existed in the academic performance of singlesport and multi-sport intercollegiate distance runners. All NCAA Division III institutions in New England offering both men's and women's varsity cross country and track and field (N = 37) were invited to participate in the current study; five institutions provided information on student-athletes. Academic performance was based on Grade Point Average (GPA) and credit hours (CH) obtained during the 2013-2014 academic year. Single-sport student-athletes were defined as only participating on the varsity cross country team, while mUlti-sport student-athletes were defined as participating on both varsity cross country and track and field teams. No significant (p > .05) interaction was found between gender, semester and type of student-athlete for GPA and CR. A significant (p > .05) interaction was found between type of student-athlete and gender for GPA and CR. Male multi-sport student-athletes reported a higher GPA (3.24 ± 0.47) than male single-sport student-athletes (2.90 ± 0.89). Also, single-sport female student-athletes (14.44 ± 3.01) reported earning more CR than single-sport male student-athletes (12.85 ± 3.79). No significant (p > .05) interaction was found between type of student-athlete and semester. Additionally, no significant (p > .05) interaction was found between gender and semester. The researcher concluded that participation in multiple intercollegiate sports influences the academic performance of male intercollegiate distance runners. Participation on multiple intercollegiate athletic teams did not impact the academic performance of female student-athletes.

Book Gender Politics in US College Athletic Departments

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the gendered politics in the context of a merger of the women’s and men’s athletic departments at the University of Minnesota over a ten year plus span. Examining the athletic department merger helps us understand women's continual under-representation in University athletics despite Title IX legislation passing 40 years ago. Using interview with organizational stakeholders and archival document data, the book explores how organizational change in the form of a merger is gendered with relation to the premerger, merged, post-merger stages.
