1. Title IX
By: Megan Hart
Title IX states, “No person on the basis of sex be excluded”
2. What Title IX is
• A law that prohibits sex discrimination in
public education
• Tile IX was made in 1972
• An option that Title IX gives is to expand
athletic options for the underrepresented sex
(girls)
3. What Title IX is (continued)
• An option that Title IX gives is to expand
athletic options for the underrepresented sex
(girls)
• Title IX states, “No person on the basis of sex
be excluded” and “No person shall be denied
benefits or be subjected todiscrimination
under any education program or activity.”
4. What Title IX is (continued)
• Title IX was passed at the height of the
women’s rights movement
• The U.S. banned sex discrimination in
any U.S. Government financed
education program.
• Title IX is a federal law governing
college and high school athletic
opportunities
5. There are Many Disadvantages of Title
IX
• Many institutions have resorted to subterfuge
to make it look as if they were offering more
spots to womenTeamsare under qualified,
even unwitting, athletes that sometimes do
not even know that they are even on the
team, just because the institutions have to
pass Title IX requirements
6. Disadvantages (continued)
• “Colleges and universities face great pressure
to cut costs.
• Men’s sports are bearing the brunt,
“…grudging agreement that a worsening
economy makes gender equality a more
imposing hurdle,” according to H. Clay
McEldowney from the Washington Post
7. Disadvantages (continued)
• It is harder for schools to accept private funds,
because of Title IX
• Schools have to schedule early morning and
late evening practices to fit the growing
number of teams into limited playing space
• In Chicago the average gap was 33 percent for
more than 7,000 girls (in 2006)
8. Title IX Affects Both Men and Women
• Schools are failing to give girls as many
chances as boys
• Title IX greatly affects high school and college
sports and increase opportunities for female
athletes
• All must abide by the law’s strict enforcement
regime or face federal investigation
9. There are Many Advantage of Title IX
• “Title IX is supported overall by school leaders
because it expands student and parent
involvement.” Stated by Bruce Hunter,
associate executive director of the American
Association of School Administrators.
• Title IX demonstrates that women’s
participation in sports is proportionate to their
enrollment, at colleges all over the United
States
10. Advantages (continued)
• “You have to be sure that if that’s what they’re
going to do, either that they’re giving for the
comparable girls team or you don’t allow
them to do it…,” according to Assistant
Superintendent Rick Holiday
• The number of women competing in college
sports has soared by more than 500 percent—
to 186,000 a year from 30,000 in 1972
11. The Future of Title IX is still in Progress
• “In the future the little things will have to pass
under a microscope to make sure everything is in
compliance.” States Amy Taylor a booster in New
Handover
• Many schools need to comply because women
make up 53 percent of students at division one
institutions, yet only 46 percent of all athletes
and at one high school in Chicago 47.5 percent
are girls but 6.7 percent of athletes
13. High School Experience
• The ARL Academy I choose was the Allied
Health Academy.
• There are necessary skills and behaviors to
succeed , and students go through sample
specialized heath fields to help choose a
specific direction.
• Recommended electives re anatomy,
physiology, and advanced placement biology.
14. High School (continued)
• Two special requirements are to complete at
least 6-8 hours of work-site experience per
week and to choose a “real world” problem to
research.
• Five examples of careers that I might be
eligible after finishing the academy are a
medical assistant, health educator, dentist,
social worker, and physical therapy assistant.
15. College
• The College I have chosen is the University of
Maryland College Park, in Maryland.
• My program of study is the computer,
mathematical and natural sciences.

little and played throughout high school.
