    The document discusses Title IX and its impact on gender discrimination in education. It describes how, prior to Title IX's passage in 1972, women faced significant discrimination in higher education, with many colleges capping the number of female students. Title IX prohibited educational institutions from discriminating based on sex and has expanded over time to include protections for LGBTQ students. However, questions remain around how Title IX will address issues like equal treatment of men's and women's sports and discrimination against transgender athletes.

    Reflection Post: Title IX

    Through course 556 in our administrative program I recently


    completed an assignment tracking one educational policy or law from the
    time of its origin to current practices today. I chose to research and follow
    Title IX as I had never heard of it before and it seemed like an interesting
    law to follow.
    I was very shocked by how education was for women prior to Title IX’s
    passage in the 1970s. Prior to the passage of Title IX, there was so much
    discrimination against women in education. In certain colleges, the
    amount of women that were admitted were capped to very small numbers.
    Cornell School of Veterinary Medicine had a cap of only 2 students that
    were women per year no matter how many qualified applicants there were.
    In the 1960s, Virginia State Colleges and Universities rejected 21,000 women
    from attending their universities while at the same time period they
    rejected zero men.
    In 1964, Title XI and XII were passed under the Equal Rights Act which
    protected individuals from discrimination based on their race; however it
    did not protect women and female minorities from being discriminated
    against on the basis of gender.
    In the 1970s, Representative Edith Green began having hearings on
    the topic of sex based discrimination and was one of the main leaders in
    pushing the 1972 Title IX into congress. In June of 1972, Nixon signed the
    amendments into law that would prohibit any education program who
    received federal funding to discriminate based on sex.
    Title IX has seen many changes since 1972 when it was signed into
    law. One major change came in the 2000s under President Obama.
    President Obama made changes so that Title IX also included protections
    against discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation.
    Under the Biden administration, Title IX set to further expand to protect
    transgender individuals from discrimination.
    I’m very glad that Title IX has come to protect so many individuals
    throughout its signing into law. Women today have many of the same
    opportunities to access education throughout their educational career.
    Without Title IX’s passing we would still see even greater differences
    between men and women in terms of education, pay, and standing in
    society. We have a long way to go with regards to equal treatment of men
    and women in education and society in general but we have made great
    improvements in this century.
    One question that arises from my research of Title IX lies in the
    future of Title IX. A very hot topic of today’s time is transgender athletes.
    Currently there is still a lot of discrimination against these student athletes
    and I wonder how Title IX will transform to protect them? My research also
    showed that even though Title IX applies to sports in universities and
    schools as well there is still lots of disparities between men’s and women’s
    sports. Access to weights might be the same but the kinds of weights and
    the quality of the materials varies greatly between men’s and women’s
    areas. How can we evaluate programs for equality and equity when the
    program’s are different? Will Title IX continue to make sure that the gaps
    between genders in both sports and education are smaller to allow for
    complete equality or is that impossible to achieve?
