On the Basis of Sex: Title IX

3 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 – prohibiting educational institutions receiving federal funds from sex-based discrimination - transformed education in the United States. Have the Title IX regulations been a success? Has the original purpose of the regulations become distorted over time? Or, perhaps, both? This course offers an in-depth analysis of the history, the law, and the social policy behind the changing Title IX regulations, with a particular focus on athletics, admissions, and sexual assault, primarily in the higher education context.
