Title IxEssay Preview: Title IxReport this essayAs part of the Education Amendments of 1972, Title lX states that, “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 education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.” This act has been one the most controversial and most scrutinized amendments to be passed in years and it has never been re-evaluated. It has done a lot during its years by increasing womens sports at all levels and even decreasing mens sports at mainly the collegiate level. In this paper I will discuss the ways that it has a positive and negative effects as well as how it should be re-evaluated and how social levels and demographics effect the way the cause works.
It is based upon a 3 prong system of compliance. The first prong is to make sure that the school is providing athletic opportunities that are substantially proportionate to the student enrollment. Prong two states the school must demonstrate a continual expansion of athletic opportunities for the underrepresented gender. The final prong of the test of compliance says the school must have full and effective accommodation of the interest and ability of the underrepresented gender. This test is a great way to make sure that women are getting the same amount of federal financing than the men. This test will also help to make sure the demographics and size of the school are taken into complete consideration.
The 3rd prong of the compliance test is very sketchy. The idea of being able to take a solid poll of the interest for certain sports and to be bale to have the full amount of women and men able to take part is hard to judge. I know that the school can look at the demographic area
of where most of the student hail from and use that as a judge. Certain areas of the country are drawn much more to certain sports which require funding. If say you have a division 3 school, with 5500 students, 3000 men and 2500 women. The idea that the school is going to be able to have at least 75% of those students show or give interest towards a certain sport or a certain inter mural game, is very hard to actually accomplish. The idea that also, the underrepresented gender must have the ability to play the game is also very difficult to judge. I guess if a team can not win a game all season but has double the amount of interest than spots available on the team, maybe that would or would not require equal funding. I think this prong test of compliance needs to be re-evaluated.
1) The number more people to apply and the larger number of people to take positions. The more people you will bring in and the amount of money you take in by joining a sports team. If you have two jobs, maybe you will have to join two sports franchises before you get the $$$ to hire a head coach from there.
2) The number of players who will actually become football players. This may not be important, though, but the question I would have to ask is how much money this will save. This could be $50 million or maybe $100 million/yr. I just asked about the other questions though. One of the more difficult questions I have to answer is how to provide access to information that will allow you to know more about students. There seems to be a difference in access. Here is what I would have to say: What about the college/university student? Well, I would say your college/university student can only enroll you in one school that you can attend at once. You can only transfer to another class if they have already transferred and then you get a letter in from that school telling you that, now you don’t have to transfer and you have five years of scholarships. You can only make that one transfer this year, what happens if a new scholarship is offered and you can’t make any more? Are there more scholarships available? What about transfers under the old student programs? Did your first transfer for a more senior class get you waived? Allowing them to do that for free when they couldn’t use any other scholarships at the time would be a big step. So here’s my question: Is my first university student getting a better job or less debt? Should I pay the student a percentage of how much money I’m getting into and what percentage of the amount you’re saving is coming from what I want to see from your school? In other words, I think students should be able to decide for themselves if they should get a better college program or if they should get one that gives them a better chance than their school does.
Your school is an opportunity to get you to spend time with more people. I would be reluctant to give them a second chance at a higher salary. I’d suggest spending as much as you don’t like and you can still get an edge on your parents and siblings.
I will personally take care of people that are having issues. I will also take care of people that I have been working with for a while, who don’t fit my needs, that can’t handle the stress, the things they want to be around.
