38 Atlanta Journal-Constitution Dec. 1999 8-part special: The Gender Gap Day 1: More than 27 years after a federal law mandated that school athletic programs for boys and girls be given comparable support, gender equity is still not the standard in most Georgia high schools. Not even close. Day 2: First-class sports amenities are not new to boys sports, thanks to booster clubs that perpetuate inequities and continue to leave girls with second-class facilities. Day 3: From coaches’ compensation to sports budgets, football programs get the lion’s share of everything in high schools across Georgia. Day 4: Participation in Florida high school athletics has risen sharply since the state passed laws to ensure equality of sports opportunity. Day 5: With college scholarships at stake, parents increasingly insist Georgia schools address disparities in opportunities that girls receive. Day 6: Oconee County High School has made strides since becoming Georgia’s first high school with a Title IX complaint filed against it. Day 7: Padding the participation numbers for girls, the Georgia High School Association classifies competitive cheerleading as a sport, over the objections of Title IX watchdogs. Day 8: A bipartisan pair of legislators is preparing to introduce a bill that would give Georgia power to monitor and enforce Title IX compliance in the state’s high schools. Plus: Readers comment on the Gender Gap series and inequities in high school sports in Georgia.

50 Gender Equity “Gender equity is an atmosphere and a reality where fair distribution of overall athletic opportunity and resources are proportionate to women and men and where no student-athlete, coach or athletic administrator is discriminated against in any way in the athletic program on the basis of gender.” “That is to say, an athletic program is gender equitable when the men’s sports program would be pleased to accept for its own the overall participation, opportunities and resources currently allocated to the women’s program and vice versa.” NCAA Gender Equity Task Force
