Summary: The Women's Educational Equity Act Program--administered by the Department of Education--awards grants and contracts to (1) provide educational equity for women; (2) help educational institutions comply with the law's requirements prohibiting sex discrimination in educational institutions receiving federal funds; and (3) provide educational equity for women and girls suffering multiple discrimination due to sex, race, ethnic origin, disability, or age. This report answers the following four questions: What interventions were implemented, by whom, for what audiences, and at what costs, and did these activities continue beyond the grant period? Did these activities hold promise of promoting educational equity for women, and did they reflect the requirements of the legislation? How was information about the interventions disseminated, and what lessons do these activities hold for future efforts to spread information widely in this field? How did changes in administration affect the program's ability to achieve its goals?
