Summary:
In response to numeroue requests for information on sex
discrimination in educational programs and activities, we have
compiled this collection of materials. The Reagan administration
recently announced its plans to review Federal guidelines intended
to protect women from discrimination under "any education program or
activity receiving Federal financial assistance" (Title IX, Civil
Rights Act as amended 1972). Title IX has most frequently been
identified with efforts to curtail discrimination in college
athletics.
Now, legislation proposed in the 97th Congress may specifically
eliminate sports from intercollegiate activities covered by Title IX.
This Infopack reviews the reasons Title IX came about, its application
to women in sports, other Federal laws and regulations prohibiting
sex discrimination in educational institutions, and sources of
additional information.
More information may be available in a local library through the
use of indexes such as the Readers' Guide to Periodical Literature.
We include a list of agencies and organizations that may also provide
information on request.
We hope this information will be helpful.
