Grove City College (GCC)
In 1984 a case before the Supreme Court limited the scope of Title IX (King, n.d.). Grove City College (GCC), in Grove City, Pennsylvania, took pride in being a private, coeducational liberal arts school that refused state and federal financial assistance (Ware, 2007). This gave them independence from federal regulation (Ware, 2007). GCC did have a large number of students that received Basic Educational Opportunity Grants (BEOG’s) issued through a Department of Education (DOE)-run program (Grove City, n.d). The DOE concluded these grants made GCC subject to Title IX (Grove City, n.d). When GCC refused to comply with the requirements of Title IX, the DOE attempted to terminate the student financial aid program (Grove City, n.d). GCC challenged the DOE’s actions all the way to the Supreme …show more content…
Since athletic departments did not receive federal funds, this case took away coverage of athletics, except for athletic scholarships (Ware, 2007). In 1988, over President Reagan’s veto, the Civil Rights Restoration Act was passed by Congress (King, n.d.). This restored the broad coverage of Title IX, to include athletics (King, n.d.). In 1997, OCR issued a document entitled, “Sexual Harassment Guidance: Harassment of Students by School Employees, Other Students, or Third Parties” (Title IX at 35, 2008). It describes Title IX standards for Schools’ sexual harassment policies and gives OCR’s standard procedures for investigating and resolving allegations (Title IX at 35, 2008). In 2001, OCR issued, “Revised Sexual Harassment Guidance,” which basically reaffirmed the 1997 Guidance (Title IX at 35, 2008). The OCR issued, “Further Clarification of Intercollegiate Athletics Policy Guidance Regarding Title IX Compliance in 2003 (Title IX at 35, 2008). It reaffirmed the validity and effectiveness of longstanding administrative regulations (Title IX at 35, 2008). In 2005, The Department of Education issued, “the Additional Clarification,” that weakened Title IX (Title IX at

    Case Analysis: Pryor V. Ncaa, 288 F.3d 548 (3d Cir. 2002)

    This case involves the Plaintiff, Kelly Pryor, and the Defendant, National Collegiate Athletic Association, in a complex argument that involves racial discrimination under Title VI and the NCAA adoption of Proposition 16 as well as Americans with Disabilities Act and Rehabilitation claims. The court must carefully consider the claims Pryor has brought forth and determine if the discrimination of Proposition 16 was purposefully adopted by adding certain education requirement to ultimately hinder the amount of scholarships awarded to incoming black student athletes. Throughout this case analysis, I will weigh the different evidence presented from both parties and report the court’s reasoning for decisions made in Pryor v. NCAA.…

    Case Study: Fisher II V. The University Of Texas

    On June 23rd 2016, the judges of the supreme court gathered to analyze a challenge about the University of Texas of Austin’s race-conscious admissions program. This case, known as Fisher II v. The University of Texas, was brought about when senior Abigail Fisher applied to the University of Texas and did not get in. She was not accepted in the top ten percent program as well( a program in Texas Law stating that top ten percent students from all schools in Texas get automatic admission into UT Austin), and firmly believed that she had the academic status to get in. She implied that the fact that she was white and had a good financial status reduced her chances of admission into the university and that she was heavily racially discriminated.…

    Pros And Cons Of Title IX Implications

    A Title IX-based decision to specifically eliminate a wrestling program cannot be based on a perceived decreased popularity of the sport among male teens. In fact, from 1981-2001, the number of high school wrestling teams had grown by 10% (Stanford Business Case: SPM-14, 2004). It is clearly a decision based on gender-ratio equality. According to the National Wrestling Coaching Associating, 378 two-year and four-year colleges have discontinued male programs since Title IX’s first year of existence in 1972 (Stanford). Under Title IX, the male/female ratio of athletes at an institution must be proportionate to the male/female ratio of undergraduate enrollment (Stanford). Many male non-revenue sports, Marquette wrestling for instance, were eliminated in order for universities to meet the requirements of Title IX. This unfortunate outcome is highly reminiscent of some of women’s athletic-related shortcomings and underrepresentation pre-Title IX. The United States Department of Education should therefore adjust the compliance parameters associated with Title IX objectives. For instance, football is a male sport requiring a relatively large roster and dedicated significant budget, potentially severely skewing Title IX objectives. As such, football should theoretically be exempt from all Title IX calculations.…

    Landmark Case Evaluation

    Conclusions of the judge/judges: Because Title IX only addresses public and private schools that receive federal funding, several states have enacted similar laws to prohibit discrimination based on sex regardless of whether the school receives federal funding. As of 2008, about a third of the states have done so, including Alaska, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Minnesota, Nebraska,…

    How Does Title IX Affect College Athletes Achieve Equality?

    Four years after the Regulations were implemented and they were revised into three rules, called Interpretations: universities must ensure equal financial aid to women and men in proportion to the number of each sex who take part in athletics, men and women must have equal athletic opportunity, and universities must offer sports programs that that meet the students interests and abilities (digitalcommons.law.byu.edu). Title IX and the regulations added on did its job to help women’s sports, but the repercussions were overlooked and disregarded. Many men’s sports are suffering from Title IX today, from a bill that was originally intended to increase female participation in sports and ban any discrimination based on gender in a time of gender inequality. 40 years later, the same bill is in place. Today women have all of the opportunities that men do, and possibly even more at college with Title IX still in…

    Franklin V Gwinnett

    On February 26th,1992, Franklin took the problem to the Federal District Court under the Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. Title IX gives students protection against having natural rights violated while in school. Because of that, Franklin requested that monetary restitution be paid for the abuse and harassment during school. The district court decided to drop the case, because Title IX does not authorize a “monetary” reward for damages. Franklin didn’t stop there. She took her case to the United States Supreme Court, and asked for an appeal, saying that she was in fact, entitled to monetary restitution from the school district. The U.S Supreme Court ruled, that Franklin was right. They also referenced similar cases like “Cannon V. University of Chicago” and “Marbury V. Madison”. In both cases, Title IX was enforceable, and further used to expand the limitations and boundaries on what all your entitled to under Title IX. But this case also raised another question. Why did the school board not take immediate actions to help Franklin? They did no investigations when it was first alleged that Hill was sexually harassing Franklin, and then ended up taking Hill up on his offer to resign and not press…

    Title IX Lawsuits Are Endangering Men's College Sports

    In 1972 a policy known as Title IX was written and mandated into Federal policy. Title IX states "no person.....shall, on the basis of sex….be subjected to discrimination under any educational program or activity receiving federal financial assistance" (Glenn Sacks, "Title IX Lawsuits are Endangering Men's College Sports," p. 3). Many high schools and colleges have not been able to comply with the Title IX standards mostly because of money. After more than 30 years since the beginning of Title IX, there is still no gender equality among men and women in sports.…

    The Pros And Cons Of Title IX

    (2) Another thing that should also be remembered about Title IX should be it also had some negative effects for majority of school districts. Due to Title IX trying to create a balanced financial status towards men and womens athletics this cut the budget for the men’s athletics. This resulted in schools having to lose their absolute best programs and would actually lose money due to the lack of income from the most profitable program. Some schools would cut the men’s athletics budget in half, even more, and then develop weaker programs for their schools creating lack of interest. Schools would lose fans for their events because they would be constantly losing in these events they lost money for. (3) During the period before Title IX women usually were only able to be in classes that were going towards what the school believed there profession would be. Examples of this would be classes that would help them be a household wife. In neatoday.org, it states “Before Title IX, many schools only allowed women to train for careers they found suitable for women – namely, housekeeping. Now, school administrators can’t legally dictate which students can take which classes based on gender.” (neatoday.org, 2016) Also before Title IX the school districts had the right to suspend…

    One of the landmark laws of the 1970s was Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. Title IX states that “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, or denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any educational program or activity receiving federal assistance.” (US Department of Labor, pg. 1) This law provided the framework for the beginning of equality in education.

    Patsy Takemoto Mink: The Fight For Gender Equality

    During a 2009 roundtable discussion at the White House, Dr. Joyce Winterton, Assistant Administrator for Education, described the impact, “Title IX was critical in opening that door for women and girls but women and girls still have to choose to go through it” (Duncan and Jarrett). Commentary on Title IX primarily focuses on the impact on women’s athletics and disregards its dramatic effect on women’s academics and career opportunities (Ford). In the years that followed the passage of Title IX and the Women’s Equity in Education Act, there was a substantial increase in women’s enrollment in colleges and universities, women’s college graduation rates, and women’s admission to medical and law schools (Duncan and Jarrett). Medical degrees awarded to women increased from 9 percent in 1972 (prior to Title IX) to 49 percent in 2006 (Bassford). Describing her amazement at this progress, Patsy Mink said, “I never had in my dreams and expectations the notion that for instance medical schools across the country would be 50-50” (Bassford). Similarly, law degrees awarded to women went from 7 percent in 1972 to 48 percent in 2006 (Bassford). At the same time, Title IX’s well-recognized impact on women’s athletics was immediate and has empowered two generations of female athletes (Ford). Former professional tennis player Billie Jean King described…

    Title IX: Negative Effects On Public Schools

    Title IX states that any educational program or activity that receives federal funds will not be allowed to discriminate students based on gender (“Overview of Title IX ….”). After Title IX girls are allowed to play any sports, take any classes, and become anything that they want to become. Boys are the same way. They are allowed to take any classes that they would like to take and they can become anything that they want to become. Before Title IX was passed as a law, only men were allowed to get scholarships to colleges and universities, but after Title IX all students were allowed to get scholarships that the schools offer (Chadband). Only men were allowed to get scholarships because humans thought that women were too fragile to play, but now they can play any sport that men can play (Winslow). Before Title IX was in place the women did not have a chance to get a scholarship for something that they…

    Title IX: Gender Equality In High School Sports

    Title IX is an act of Federal Legislation that forbids schools to discriminate in an educational setting based on gender. It was enacted until 1972 considering many women wanting equal rights for participation in school activities including sports (Fields, 2003) In this day, a person of any gender should have equal rights and protection when participating in k-12 sports and activities. Unfortunately, many cases have had to overcome accused discrimination in this area of public activities. If Title IX legally forbids schools to discriminate based on sex or sexual orientation, then people of any gender should be equally encouraged and protected while participating in public school sporting activities.…
