Literature Review #4


Huot, Lyndsay N. "Athletics and the Title IX of the 1972 Education Amendments. The Georgetown Journal of Gender and The Law. Vol VIII:417. 2007. Print

The article talks about almost everything there is to know about Title IX; from its history, to how involved women's sports have become in society, to females from all ages being able to compete with the same amenities as boys' sports programs. Giving more opportunities for a fair ground to athletic development.

Lyndsay "represents financial institutions, broker-dealers, and investment advisers in investigations, enforcement cases, or other regulatory matters involving government agencies and regulators, including the SEC and FINRA." She has worked on a couple of cases that helped reinforce the efficiency of Title IX with regulatory jurisdictions and so forth.

key terms: Framework of the Title IX legislation in the context of high school and intercollegiate athletics.
Constitutional Protections- basically protecting from sex discrimination claims and constitutional malpractices that can take place from time to time.

'At least one court has explicitly stated that that outside funding for athletics programs, whether through booster clubs or outside donors, becomes transformed into public funds upon receipt by a school."
"Existence of equal treatment and benefits is measured by an analysis of whether the resources necessary to ensuring equal opportunities for males and females are provided, as well as the comparison of the advantages provided to females and males program-wide."
"Claims may also involve substantive equal protection violations brought under the Civil Rights Act of 1964"

It is valuable to understand the legalities of Title IX because this outlines more rules about gender equality in extra-curricular activities, and thus the reasoning behind the funding of collegiate sports.
