In March 2005, with no notification or public comment, the Department of Education issued new guidelines that lower the bar for the steps schools must take to show that their athletics programs are complying with Title IX. These new guidelines allow schools to simply send an email survey to students asking them about their interest in athletics - and count a failure to respond to the email as evidence of lack of interest in playing sports. This new "clarification" threatens to reverse the enormous progress women and girls have made in sports since the enactment of Title IX.
On this page, you can find further information on the dangers of the "clarification", and what NWLC is doing to prevent the weakening of Title IX enforcement.
