Almost As Fairly: The First Year of Title IX Implementation in Six Southern States. A Report.
American Friends Service Committee, Columbia, SC. Southeastern Public Education Program.
Volunteers from community organizations in six southern states monitored 21 school districts to find their districts' initial answer to Title IX, federal legislation barring sex discrimination. The actual monitoring of the 21 districts was completed in the late spring of 1976, with data covering the first year of Title IX implementation. The purpose of the project was to help local citizens arm themselves with the detailed information needed to substantiate violations of the law and seek remedies at the appropriate levels. The report is a formal complaint to the Office for Civil Rights, HEW, of Title IX violations for each school district monitored in the report. The report contains district findings on (1) initial compliance; (2) access to course offerings (physical education, vocational education, counseling and employment assistance); (3) athletics; (4) treatment of students, codes of dress and conduct; (5) employment opportunity; (6) pregnancy, marital status, and fringe benefits; (7) single-sex schools; and (8) community advocacy.
