Download or read book Sex Discrimination Law in Higher Education written by J. Ralph Lindgren and published by Study of Higher Education. This book was released on 1984 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The obligations of colleges and universities under existing laws prohibiting sex discrimination are discussed. Attention is directed to developments in the law relating to sex discrimination against employees and against students in colleges and universities, and practical and cost-efficient strategies for complying with the law. The pertinent laws on sex discrimination against employees, job applicants, and students are cited. The employee-related laws address hiring, retention, promotion, tenure, salary and fringe benefits, sexual harassment, and affirmative action practices for government contracts. Judicial decisions are based on the prima facie case, rebuttal, pretext, and the discovery of confidential faculty evaluations. The laws on sex discrimination against students address practices in admissions, tuition rates, financial aid, sexual harassment, student organizations, student services, housing and parietal rules, and athletics. Three strategies for compliance are: (1) carefully selecting and training key academic and administrative personnel, including faculty who serve on review and search committees; (2) implementing a management control system; and (3) securing indemnification against losses suffered as a result of unintentional discrimination.

Book excerpt: This book examines the history and evolution of Title IX, a landmark 1972 law prohibiting sex discrimination at educational institutions receiving federal funding. Elizabeth Kaufer Busch and William Thro illuminate the ways in which the interpretation and implementation of Title IX have been transformed over time to extend far beyond the law's relatively narrow statutory text. The analysis considers the impact of Title IX on athletics, sexual harassment, sexual assault, and, for a time, transgender discrimination. Combining legal and cultural perspectives and supported by primary documents, Title IX: The Transformation of Sex Discrimination in Education offers a balanced and insightful narrative of interest to anyone studying the history of sex discrimination, educational policy, and the law in the contemporary United States.

Book excerpt: This report discusses non-sports-related Title IX complaints filed with the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) from 1993-1997. Its purpose is to dispel the popular belief that Title IX is a sports-equity law and to determine the effectiveness of the legislation. The document examines the kinds of complaints filed, the status of those making the complaints, and the actions taken in response by the OCR. It found that 70 percent of the Title IX complaints filed in the 4-year period were non-sports related. It also found that although Title IX has improved the educational climate for women and girls, enforcement of the law varies widely by region and is often hampered by the absence of guidelines and the overtolerance of institutional foot-dragging. The report encompasses 425 cases, representing more than 60 percent of nonsports-related cases resolved by the OCR. The report includes an overview of the scope and impact of Title IX; the enforcement of Title IX; case and complaint information, including the types of complaints; trends and issues; filing and investigative procedures; the resolution and monitoring of complaints; and an action agenda for Congress, the OCR, schools, and universities.

Download or read book Sexual Harassment of Women written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2018-09-01 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last few decades, research, activity, and funding has been devoted to improving the recruitment, retention, and advancement of women in the fields of science, engineering, and medicine. In recent years the diversity of those participating in these fields, particularly the participation of women, has improved and there are significantly more women entering careers and studying science, engineering, and medicine than ever before. However, as women increasingly enter these fields they face biases and barriers and it is not surprising that sexual harassment is one of these barriers. Over thirty years the incidence of sexual harassment in different industries has held steady, yet now more women are in the workforce and in academia, and in the fields of science, engineering, and medicine (as students and faculty) and so more women are experiencing sexual harassment as they work and learn. Over the last several years, revelations of the sexual harassment experienced by women in the workplace and in academic settings have raised urgent questions about the specific impact of this discriminatory behavior on women and the extent to which it is limiting their careers. Sexual Harassment of Women explores the influence of sexual harassment in academia on the career advancement of women in the scientific, technical, and medical workforce. This report reviews the research on the extent to which women in the fields of science, engineering, and medicine are victimized by sexual harassment and examines the existing information on the extent to which sexual harassment in academia negatively impacts the recruitment, retention, and advancement of women pursuing scientific, engineering, technical, and medical careers. It also identifies and analyzes the policies, strategies and practices that have been the most successful in preventing and addressing sexual harassment in these settings.

Download or read book The Transformation of Title IX written by R. Shep Melnick and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One civil rights-era law has reshaped American society—and contributed to the country's ongoing culture wars Few laws have had such far-reaching impact as Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. Intended to give girls and women greater access to sports programs and other courses of study in schools and colleges, the law has since been used by judges and agencies to expand a wide range of antidiscrimination policies—most recently the Obama administration’s 2016 mandates on sexual harassment and transgender rights. In this comprehensive review of how Title IX has been implemented, Boston College political science professor R. Shep Melnick analyzes how interpretations of "equal educational opportunity" have changed over the years. In terms accessible to non-lawyers, Melnick examines how Title IX has become a central part of legal and political campaigns to correct gender stereotypes, not only in academic settings but in society at large. Title IX thus has become a major factor in America's culture wars—and almost certainly will remain so for years to come.
