Keeping Up with Title IX. ERIC/Higher Education Research Currents.
Shulman, Carol Herrnstadt
Regulations implementing Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 were published in 1975 amid considerable speculation over their impact on college student affairs. More than one year later, there does not appear to be substantial understanding in the higher education community of what Title IX has meant for students and for administrators. Title IX regulations may already have had some impact on the treatment of women college students. At a minimum, it has compelled college officials to take a close and critical look at the effect of their policies and practices on students' college careers and on their postgraduate plans. At the same time, there may be other aspects of campus life where disparate treatment of men and women students continues to occur. One major issue remains unexamined: the policies and procedures the Office of Civil Rights will use to monitor and enforce Title IX. Until an implementation plan is made known, compliance will depend on the good faith actions of college and university administrators; consequently, the full impact of Title IX cannot be known.
