ARE YOU SMART ENOUGH ABOUT TITLE IX?

Question Big Sports High School spent $.5 million within boy’s athletics, and $.1 million within girl’s athletics. Is Big Sports High in compliance with Title IX?

Question Students in Sum County take the same quarterly tests in English each year. The girls scored 20-40% higher than the boys for three consecutive years. Is Sum County in compliance with Title IX?

Question An equal amount of money is spent on boys’ and girls’ basketball at Big Sports High School. The band plays at all home boy’s basketball games. Is this an issue that involves Title IX?

Unpacking the Law In 1979, OCR developed the Three-Part Test Schools need to only meet one of the prongs to be in compliance.

Unpacking the Law 1. Males and females participate in athletics in numbers substantially proportional to their enrollment numbers.

Unpacking the Law 2. The school has a history and continuing practice of program expansion which is demonstrably responsive to the developing interests and abilities of members of the underrepresented sex.

Unpacking the Law 3. The institution’s existing programs fully and effectively accommodate the interests and abilities of the underrepresented sex.

Unpacking the Law Franklin V. Gwinnett County Public Schools (1992) - punitive damages  McCormick v. School District of Mamaroneck (2004) & Communities for Equity v. Michagan High School Athletic Association (2006) - fair sports seasons

What has Title IX done for high school athletics? In , the number of girls playing high school sports was just under 300,000. By the school year, that number had increased to 2.9 million. (National Federation of State High School Associations, 2006)

What has Title IX done for high school athletics?

Current Inequalities Girls have nearly 20% fewer opportunities to participate in high school and college sports than boys High school girls have 2,953,355 athletic participation opportunities, while high school boys have 4, 206, 549 Women are only 19% of the head coaches of both women’s and men’s teams.

Opposition to Title IX Opponents say its enforcement regulations are a blunt instrument used to kill men’s teams. The OCR states, “It is contrary to the spirit of Title IX for the government to require or encourage an institution to eliminate athletic teams.”

Opposition to Title IX A student at Boone County blames a lawsuit for his soccer team not receiving new uniforms. He stated, “It’s not right what they did. They’re trying to take advantage of the system. It’s awful.” A school board in Oklahoma had to renovate the softball fields and make them equitable with the baseball fields. The principal stated, “I still don’t feel like we discriminated against anybody…Title IX is the law, and we’ve come to accept…the unfairness of it…We have to go the legal way even if it’s an overwhelming burden on the community.”
