Title IX and Intercollegiate Sports: Equal Opportunity?
Weistart, John
Brookings Review, v16 n4 p39-43 Fall 1998
After 25 years of federal Title IX regulation, only three dozen of the top 300 college athletics programs are in compliance. Women receive less than 40% of athletic scholarships. College sports are locked into a budgetary structure that favors two dominant men's sports, football and basketball. Divisive rhetoric and resistance delay balanced discussion on achieving gender equity. (MSE)
