Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in student programs and in virtually every aspect of employment policy and practice in education institutions receiving Federal funds. The purposes of this booklet are to review briefly data and legislation relating to issues of equal employment opportunity in institutions of postsecondary education, and to provide some specific suggestions for personnel involved in the selection of professional employees in postsecondary institutions regarding strategies for ensuring greater equity in the selection process and compliance with Title IX. Contents include: (1) Federal prohibitions of discrimination in education employment--a summary; (2) the challenge: a review of data on employment in postsecondary education; (3) ensuring equity in postsecondary education employment (general considerations and steps in the selection process); and (4) additional resources. Lists and addresses of concerned Federal agencies are appended. (Author/MSE)
