Title IX: Effect On Public School Education

177 Words1 Page

Title IX has had a huge effect on public school education. In fact the impact is so great I could not list them all. For the sake of time I will list the biggest one and that is the impact on women’s athletics. In 1971 only 15% of the athletes in college were women. In 2012 that number is 43%. Title nine requires athletic programs to be equivalent to enrollment. The number of sports programs for each sex should reflect the ratio of students enrolled in the school. With more women attending college the need for more sports programs has grown dramatically. I don’t want to get in a political discussion about schools who have cut men’s programs so I will only speak on schools who have added women’s programs. This opportunity has not only improved

Will writes in his article “A Train Wreck Called Title Ix” on the Newsweek website that colleges terminated over 400 men 's athletic teams to produce precise proportionality between the genders enrollments and participation in athletics. Although growing women’s athletics did cause some shortage in funding for men it is illogical to deny rights to one people group for the sake of having excess in another group. Female athletic programs were easy to blame for terminating some men’s programs, but if the funding were split more evenly between minor and major sports those programs might have

    Prior to Title IX, women’s sports were largely ignored and underfunded, with limited opportunities for participation and scholarships. The law mandated equal opportunities for women in sports, leading to the growth of women’s athletics and also a significant increase in female participation in sports. In college, the implementation of Title IX was monitored by the Office for Civil Rights (OCR), which ensured that schools followed the law by examining the number of scholarships, participation, opportunities, and resources allocated to women (Boschert 90). This led to an increase in the number of women’s teams, athletic scholarships, and facilities that provide equal opportunities for both
