Title IX37 Words Changed Everything

"No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any educational program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.“

One of the main authors of the Title IX bill was Rep. Patsy Mink from Hawaii, an AAUW member.

Signed into law by Richard Nixon on June 23, 1972.Slide3

Each School Is Required to Have a Title IX Coordinator

Oversee all aspects of Title IX in a school

Field complaints

Monitor the gender ratio in STEM classesWork to monitor and end sexual harassment and violenceSupport pregnant and parenting studentsSlide4

Two-Thirds of Public Schools Reported Zero Incidents of Sexual Harassment in 2013–14

Info came from the Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC) for 2013-14.

The zeros don’t really tell the truth about what is happening in schools.

The AAUW report Crossing the Line: Sexual Harassment in Schools

 found that nearly half of students grades 7–12 (and more than half of girls) reported experiencing some form of sexual harassment in the previous school year.

In Iowa 59% of districts reported 0 incidents of sexual harassment. Slide5

AAUW’s Research

48% of middle and high school students surveyed experienced sexual harassment during the 2010-11 school year.

Girls were more likely to be harassed than boys (56% vs. 40%).

87% of students who were harassed said it had a negative effect on them. Slide6

Why did schools report zeros?

States are unaware of requirements

Incorrect reporting

Lack of resourcesSlide7

Some of the worst problems happen when

Schools don’t have a Title IX coordinator

The coordinator lacks training

The coordinator isn’t given the authority to oversee complianceSlide8

So AAUW Would Like You to Deliver Title IX Materials to Schools

A letter to the administrator

A letter to the Title IX Coordinator

Title IX was great for female athletes

1971-72

294,015 girls playing high school sports

29,972 women playing college varsity sports2009-10

3,172,637 girls playing high school sports

186,460 women playing college varsity sports

Title IX increased women’s participation in college sports 500 percent between 1972 and 2011Slide12

But terrible for female coaches

1972

90% of head coaches for women’s teams were women

2011

42.6% of head coaches for women’s teams were womenSlide13
Slide14

The number of women coaching women has dropped since Title IX

In 1973, 90 percent of NCAA women’s sports teams had female coaches. Today, that number is 42.6 percent.

Between 2000 and 2014, NCAA schools created more than 2,000 new head coaching jobs in women’s sports. But 65 percent of those jobs went to men. Slide15

Women’s Sports at the University of Iowa

After Title IX, the University of Iowa was a great place for female coaches because it had a separate athletic department for women until 2000.

Gary

Barta took over as athletic director in 2006. He fired female coaches with losing records, but kept male coaches who had similar records.Barta replaced two of the five female coaches he fired with men — and paid those men 25 percent more than the women they replaced. Three were replaced with other women, and they were paid 13 percent less.Slide16

Some Factors

Men’s sports are more popular than women’s sports, and male athletes are assumed to make better coaches.

80% of college athletic directors are men. Their network includes mostly male coaches.

Women don’t have vocal allies among male coaches.Slide17
