Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Title IX legislation has been in effect since 1972 and has created unprecedented positive change on intercollegiate athletics, educational institutions have still had difficulty meeting the basic requirements set forth by Title IX and ensuring gender equity in their athletic programs. Additionally, specific research has been largely limited on Title IX compliance issues focused exclusively on two-year institutions and the unique nature of these programs. The purpose of this study was to compare and analyze the perceptions of two-year college athletic administrators regarding efforts surrounding Title IX compliance. The study identified perceived levels of compliance to Title IX within two-year college athletic programs as well as effective strategies for and barriers against Title IX compliance efforts within these programs. Findings were analyzed by respondent and institutional variables identified in previous research as potential influencers of Title IX compliance efforts including athletic administrator gender, availability of scholarships, presence of intercollegiate football, longevity of athletic program, athletic operating budget, and presence of a formal booster organization and/or formal external media agreement for athletic teams. Senior athletic administrators (N=191, 32% response rate) from the National Junior College Athletic Association and California Community College Athletic Association completed the Two-Year College Title IX Survey. Results demonstrated an overall favorable perception regarding current compliance for respondent institutions (M=8.1, SD=2.4 on a 0--12 scale) and a common set of strategies for and barriers against Title IX compliance efforts. Study participants on the whole perceived the inability to attract female student-athletes along with unclear compliance guidelines and a lack of centralized training and support as key issues with meeting Title IX requirements. Similarly, participants perceived the importance of formalized program assessment tools, clearly communicated and understood external compliance standards, and enhanced focus on attracting and retaining female athletes as top strategy options. Institutions without football ( M=8.23, SD=2.26) reported higher average levels of compliance than those with football (M=6.85, SD=2.48, p=.006). No significant differences by institutional variable were shown for compliance strategies, suggesting a common group of potential recommendations irrespective of institutional characteristics. Female athletic administrators indicated significantly higher levels of agreement for barrier scales Leadership (lack of female representation in leadership positions: Mm=2.05, SDm =0.67, Mf=2.57, SD f=0.85) and Regulations (complexity and generic nature of Title IX regulations: Mm=2.27, SDm=0.63, Mf=2.68, SDf=0.75) than did male administrators. Additionally, institutions without athletic scholarships demonstrated higher average agreement for barrier scales Unavailability (inability to attract female student-athletes: My=2.31, SDy=0.70, Mn=2.75, SDn=0.66) and Leadership (My=2.03, SDy=0.69, Mn=2.34, SDn=0.77) than scholarship-granting schools. From a theoretical perspective, the study provides insight into the unique nature and diversity of athletics programs at two-year institutions to include the framework from which they operate. Practically, study results identified a common set of strategies and barriers associated with Title IX compliance that could be beneficial to the gender equity efforts of two-year college athletic programs, irrespective of institutional profile.

This book was released on 2012-12-15 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Roderick Van Daniel (PhD & JD) focused his research on gender equality for women in education and athletics. Everyone deserves the opportunity to participate and not be discriminated against because of their gender. Title IX's legislation has been in place since 1972 and has affected female participation in a positive form towards gender equity. However many institutions still have difficulty complying with the standards mandated by Title IX. Gender equity is established by meeting substantial proportionality, continued expansion, or full accommodations prongs mandated by Title IX for an institution to be in compliance. The purpose of this study was to determine the perceptions of the athletic directors of the 15 public community and junior colleges in Mississippi regarding Title IX compliance and determine if their respective institutions are in compliance with the substantial proportionality (SP) prong of Title IX. The study identified the perceptions of the athletic directors regarding their institutions' Title IX compliance, as well as the effective strategies and barriers toward meeting the requirements to comply with Title IX within their programs. In addition, the study revealed whether or not the institutions complied with the SP prong of Title IX. Athletic directors (N=15; 53% response rate) from the public community and junior colleges from Mississippi completed the Two-Year College Title IX Survey. Results revealed that overall the athletic directors perceived that their institutions were in compliance with Title IX. However, the athletic directors perceived that the listed strategies were not effective and the barriers listed were not perceived barriers to Title IX compliance. However, the Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act data revealed that none of the institutions complied with the SP prong of Title IX. From a practical perspective, the study revealed that while the athletic directors perceived that their institutions met the SP prong, EADA data revealed that none of the institutions in the state met that prong. Consequently, this finding indicates that there is a need for more education regarding Title IX compliance at the institutions. This information could serve as a starting point for an in-depth institutional study on Title IX. From a theoretical perspective, the study provided information that gives leaders at the public community and junior colleges in Mississippi a unique look at diversity within their athletic departments.

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.
Download or read book A Place on the Team written by Welch Suggs and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2006-10-09 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Place on the Team is the inside story of how Title IX revolutionized American sports. The federal law guaranteeing women's rights in education, Title IX opened gymnasiums and playing fields to millions of young women previously locked out. Journalist Welch Suggs chronicles both the law's successes and failures-the exciting opportunities for women as well as the commercial and recruiting pressures of modern-day athletics. Enlivened with tales from Suggs's reportage, the book clears up the muddle of interpretation and opinion surrounding Title IX. It provides not only a lucid description of how courts and colleges have read (and misread) the law, but also compelling portraits of the people who made women's sports a vibrant feature of American life. What's more, the book provides the first history of the law's evolution since its passage in 1972. Suggs details thirty years of struggles for equal rights on the playing field. Schools dragged their feet, offering token efforts for women and girls, until the courts made it clear that women had to be treated on par with men. Those decisions set the stage for some of the most celebrated moments in sports, such as the Women's World Cup in soccer and the Women's Final Four in NCAA basketball. Title IX is not without its critics. Wrestlers and other male athletes say colleges have cut their teams to comply with the law, and Suggs tells their stories as well. With the chronicles of Pat Summitt, Anson Dorrance, and others who shaped women's sports, A Place on the Team is a must-read not only for sports buffs but also for parents of every young woman who enters the arena of competitive sports.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the enactment of Assembly Bill 2295 (Chapter 1060, Statutes of 2002), the California Department of Education and the California Postsecondary Education Commission were directed to conduct a study of Title IX compliance in athletics in California?s public high schools, community colleges, and universities. This study found that California public educational institutions, overall, are not fully in compliance with Title IX, especiallywith regard to athletics participation and coaching parity. Based on the findings, this report makes recommendations that generally fall into the following four categories: (1) better data collection; (2) increased technical assistance to districts and schools; (3) improved training for school administrators, athletic directors, and coaches; and (4) additional research regarding specific areas of compliance, particularly coaching.

Book excerpt: Title IX, a landmark federal statute enacted in 1972 to prohibit sex discrimination in education, has worked its way into American culture as few other laws have. The subject of web blogs and T-shirt slogans, it is credited with opening the doors to the massive numbers of girls and women now participating in competitive sports, yet few people fully understand the extent to which it has succeeded in challenging the gender norms that have circumscribed women's place in society more generally. In this legal analysis of Title IX, the author, a law professor assesses the statute's successes and failures. She provides an understanding and appreciation of what Title IX has accomplished, while taking a critical look at the places where it has fallen short.

Book excerpt: Changing the Game is set at a fictional university in the mid-1990s. A debate over the role of athletics quickly expands to encompass demands that women's sports and athletes receive more resources and opportunities. The result is a firestorm of controversy on and off campus. Drawing on congressional testimonies from the Title IX hearings, players advance their views in student government meetings, talk radio shows, town meetings, and impromptu rallies. As students wrestle with questions of gender parity and the place of athletics in higher education, they learn about the implementation—and implications—of legal change in the United States.
