Addressing the Needs of Female Professional and Amateur Athletes

This study fills a major gap in the development of the dialogue around women's sports, a report that for the first time articulates female athletes' sense of the most pressing issues they face as competitors today. The results show that while many improvements have been made in U.S. women's sports, especially since the 1996 Olympic Games, there remains a consistent cluster of issues that needs to be addressed. This report outlines those issues and serves as the basis for policy recommendations and to facilitate communication about athletes' needs

An End to the Odyssey: Equal Athletic Opportunities for Women

I. Preface Princess and maids delighted in that feast; then, putting off their veils, they ran and passed a ball to a rhythmic beat. 1 So Homer, c. 800 B.C., sings of Princess Nausikaa before she befriends Odysseus near a stream on the island of Skheria. Homer\u27s adventurer ac- cepts his royal rescuer\u27s game of her own without surprise. Three millen- nia later, many American colleges are still unsure how men and women can have as equal a chance to pass a ball against other colleges as to parse the epic of Odysseus and Penelope in their classrooms. Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, 2 which bans sex dis- crimination in all education programs that receive federal financial assistance, should have assured those opportunities. Almost a quarter-century later, however, its promise is still unfulfilled, 3 and major litigation to define its application to athletics has begun only recently. These delays have created an air of crisis, division, and anger on many campuses. Because most college presidents and athletic directors do not know what Title IX requires, they frequently overestimate the difficulties of compliance. In my experience, supporters of men\u27s collegiate teams are espe- cially likely to lack clear information, and to be frustrated with what they believe are overly rigid obligations. Yet a generation\u27s delay in enforcement has led women student-athletes and their coaches to view compliance with increasing urgency. We should be asking why equal opportunity has been so long in com- ing. When we ask instead ..

Intercollegiate Athletics at Gettysburg College, 1920-1975

Some historians suggest that despite markings on the calendar the Twentieth Century did not begin in America, culturally speaking, until after the 1917-1918 war. Until that time, they assert, Americans thought and behaved as they had in a prior and more innocent age. After 1918 Americans adopted the more frenetic life-style of what has become known as the Roaring Twenties, the Jazz Age, or the Mad Decade, a period which ended with the onset of the Great Depression of the 1930s. The era saw the emergence of such athletic titans as Babe Ruth, Jack Dempsey, Harold Red Grange, Bobby Jones, Bill Tilden, and others. An indication of the new place of women during the period was the fame won by Gertrude Ederle in swimming, Helen Wills Moody in tennis, and Glenna Collett in golf.

A Title IX assessment for the athletic department at Salem High School

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 provides legislative relief for females who were being denied participation opportunities in intercollegiate and interscholastic athletics. In recent years there has been a substantial increase in the number of Title IX lawsuits brought against secondary institutions. The purpose of this study was to perform a Title IX self-audit of the Salem High School Athletic Department and its programs. It was designed to identify any problems and recommend solutions. It also provides a method for continued self-examination for the Salem City School District and any other secondary institutions interested in determining their Title IX compliance. Through the use of student and parent surveys and a review of school records, it was determined that while some inequities exist, overall the Salem High School Athletic program is in compliance with the Office for Civil Rights Title IX Guidelines
