    Pros And Cons Of Title IX Implications

    A Title IX-based decision to specifically eliminate a wrestling program cannot be based on a perceived decreased popularity of the sport among male teens. In fact, from 1981-2001, the number of high school wrestling teams had grown by 10% (Stanford Business Case: SPM-14, 2004). It is clearly a decision based on gender-ratio equality. According to the National Wrestling Coaching Associating, 378 two-year and four-year colleges have discontinued male programs since Title IX’s first year of existence in 1972 (Stanford). Under Title IX, the male/female ratio of athletes at an institution must be proportionate to the male/female ratio of undergraduate enrollment (Stanford). Many male non-revenue sports, Marquette wrestling for instance, were eliminated in order for universities to meet the requirements of Title IX. This unfortunate outcome is highly reminiscent of some of women’s athletic-related shortcomings and underrepresentation pre-Title IX. The United States Department of Education should therefore adjust the compliance parameters associated with Title IX objectives. For instance, football is a male sport requiring a relatively large roster and dedicated significant budget, potentially severely skewing Title IX objectives. As such, football should theoretically be exempt from all Title IX calculations.…

    How Does Title IX Affect College Athletes Achieve Equality?

    Four years after the Regulations were implemented and they were revised into three rules, called Interpretations: universities must ensure equal financial aid to women and men in proportion to the number of each sex who take part in athletics, men and women must have equal athletic opportunity, and universities must offer sports programs that that meet the students interests and abilities (digitalcommons.law.byu.edu). Title IX and the regulations added on did its job to help women’s sports, but the repercussions were overlooked and disregarded. Many men’s sports are suffering from Title IX today, from a bill that was originally intended to increase female participation in sports and ban any discrimination based on gender in a time of gender inequality. 40 years later, the same bill is in place. Today women have all of the opportunities that men do, and possibly even more at college with Title IX still in…

    Title IX Case Study

    In 1974, Senator Tower proposed the “Tower Amendment”, which proposed that sports that received donations or produced gross revenue from Title IX compliances determinations should be exempted. This Amendment was denied in May 20 and in July of that same year Senator Jacob Javits submitted a new amendment making (HEW) issue regulations that provide for "reasonable provisions considering the nature of particular sports.” With that being said, the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) was given the task of implementing Title IX. Approximately three years after Title IX was passed, regulations were passed and became effective (Thornton, 2011, p. 509).…

    The Pros And Cons Of Title IX

    (2) Another thing that should also be remembered about Title IX should be it also had some negative effects for majority of school districts. Due to Title IX trying to create a balanced financial status towards men and womens athletics this cut the budget for the men’s athletics. This resulted in schools having to lose their absolute best programs and would actually lose money due to the lack of income from the most profitable program. Some schools would cut the men’s athletics budget in half, even more, and then develop weaker programs for their schools creating lack of interest. Schools would lose fans for their events because they would be constantly losing in these events they lost money for. (3) During the period before Title IX women usually were only able to be in classes that were going towards what the school believed there profession would be. Examples of this would be classes that would help them be a household wife. In neatoday.org, it states “Before Title IX, many schools only allowed women to train for careers they found suitable for women – namely, housekeeping. Now, school administrators can’t legally dictate which students can take which classes based on gender.” (neatoday.org, 2016) Also before Title IX the school districts had the right to suspend…

    Patsy Takemoto Mink: The Fight For Gender Equality

    After Mink’s death in 2002, while still representing Hawaii in the U.S. Congress, Title IX was renamed the Patsy Mink Equal Opportunity in Education Act to honor her achievements, and President Barack Obama awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2014 (Langston; Mertens). Unfortunately, despite the dramatic educational and occupational gains made by women since the early 1970s, there is still work to be done to achieve gender equity in educational settings and beyond. First, women continue to be underrepresented in STEM (i.e., science, technology, engineering and math) academic fields and careers (“The Next Generation of Title IX”). Subtle stereotypes and gender norms, still common in the media and in educational settings, reduce girls’ confidence and lead to the belief that they may not be capable of succeeding in math and science (Duncan and Jarrett). Effective programs are needed to address this discrimination and provide opportunities for girls and young women to explore and engage in STEM studies and career opportunities (“The Next Generation of Title IX”). Second, girls and women still commonly experience discrimination, bullying, and sexual harassment in academic settings that limit their achievement (Nat’l Coalition for Women and Girls in Education 37). Additional legislation and educational programs for primary and secondary schools and…

    Jennie Finch

    As her childhood moved on, so did softball. Each weekend, she was taken to a different part of country for a national tournament. In 1995, Jennie’s ASA team took home the fourteen and under crown. She loved winning, and she tried her hardest even as a fourteen year old. When she was fifteen, she started to think about her dreams as any other teenager would. She rooted for the USA softball team as it rolled to Olympic gold in Atlanta. Weeks later, when the USA softball team was traveling the country, she waited in the long line to get Dot Richardson’s autograph. She dreamed of being an Olympic Champ. She wanted to be just like the girls on the USA softball. Jennie Finch wanted to be swinging her own Jennie Finch bat when she grew up. Only God knew then that that was what really what was going to happen to her!…

    Title IX Should Be Banned Essay

    During the time of Title IX’s creation women were trying to get equal rights and they fought vigorously to get their rights.Although they did not think of the aftershock that was going to happen afterwards, after that aftershock, both the women and men’s talents were wasted after a ton of sports fell off the map at colleges! YaleLawJournal.edu states that “Title IX is a rule to equal out the favoritism to men in sports at that time”. The controversy of Title IX is that some people really want it to be either loosened to let there be extra male scholarships,or tightened to, were that NCAA compliant schools who are caught in favoring men are punished,or leveling it out completely to where men and women have the correct amount of scholarships for each of their own sports. Overall men and women should have equal rights and get…

    On the contrary, Title IX has positively impacted all students. All students now have the chance to play any sport that they want and can get into any class that they want to take, play the things that they enjoy doing and love, and take any activities that they would like. Still, Title IX has made it possible for students to play any sport, by doing so, students are gaining leadership skills, high academic performance, they increase their self-esteem, increase their health, they gain more responsibility, and even some social skills (“Athletic…

    Though many people argued the question of without Title IX if those changes in education, athletics, and the work force would’ve been possible even without the amendment since the role of women in modern American life was independently evolving throughout the 1970s, but the fact that Title IX was put in place helped to further push the ability for women to participate in higher sports and education, along with gaining the confidence to achieve greater equality in…

    Title IX Issues In Education

    Straurowsky and Weight illustrated a quote from How it works (Bonnette 2004) that Title IX goes beyond the foundational aspects of Title IX compliance where it is separated into two parts; “first, equal access to athletic programs” and “receive treatment that is equitable to male athletes”. An example of these regulations is the U.S. women’s national soccer team filing a wage-discrimination action against the U.S. Soccer Federation with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. (Fagan, 2016). Although equal access to the athletic program has been put in place, equal treatment has not been provided. The research has also shown the pattern of collegiate Title IX cases are directed towards sexual assault and harassment, due to the intimate nature of close living conditions at most colleges and universities. Although some high school cases are filed under these same circumstances most cases have involved discrimination due to unequal treatment of female…

    Basketball and Physical Education Departments

    Although Title IX states than, "no person in the United States, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to any discrimination..." it does not guarantee that people will carry this out. After the issuing of Title IX, many women in sports wished to step forward and be recognized. Part of the recognition they wanted was to be included in National Sports Associations like the men's National Basketball Association. Eventually their cries were heard, and sports associations like the NBA agreed to merge and include women. Becoming included was an eye opening experience to many of these women and they have faced (and still do) doubts and discrimination from the public, but along the way they have also reaped benefits they would not have if the merger had never taken place.…

    Sex Discrimination In Sports

    “Title IX is a comprehensive federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any federally funded education program or activity. The principal objective of Title IX is to avoid the use of federal money to support sex discrimination in education programs and to provide individual citizens effective protection against those practices. Title IX applies, with a few specific exceptions, to all aspects of federally funded education programs or activities” [1]. The creation and enforcement would change the opportunities and chance given to women in both education and sports for all of time. It helped to give way to some of the most iconic female athletes and coaches at both the amateur and professional level. It helped to give the…
