OUR MISSION:
Gender Equity in Sports is a resource
for anyone investigating the state of affairs in interscholastic
or intercollegiate sport. The content and data are primarily based
on an ongoing project maintained by Dr. Mary C. Curtis and Dr.
Christine H.B. Grant at The University of Iowa. These reports
have been collected
from newspaper articles, the Women's Sports Foundation, and personal
references. Leads, updates, corrections, or suggestions are welcome,
as changes are being made daily and in every area. |
UI equity questionnaire available
Dr. Christine Grant and Amy Wilson created a questionnaire for use by the University of Iowa
Gender Equity Subcommittee during the NCAA Certification process in the spring of 2005. Please feel free to use or modify this questionnaire in your own preparation of department-wide gender equity data.

Title IX surveys criticized by NCAA, Myles Brand
In March of 2005, new federal guidelines were released that created an alternative way for colleges to be in compliance with the 1972 anti-discrimination law. Schools may now use an e-mail survey to show a fulfillment of requirements with Title IX, according to documents released by the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights. Insufficient interest among female students would indicate compliance under Title IX's third prong which includes a satisfaction of the interests and abilities of the historically underrepresented sex, a move critics say undermines the 33-year-old legislation.
