Course Description
One of the most important civil rights laws in our nation's history was the enactment of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. Although it is commonly known for its requirement that schools provide women with equal athletic opportunities, athletics is only one of ten key areas addressed by the law. These areas include: access to higher education, career education, education for pregnant and parenting students, employment, learning environment, math and science, sexual harassment, standardized testing, and technology.
This course offers an in-depth examination of the history and implications of Title IX on various dimensions of education with a particular focus on campus sexual misconduct. Students will use the lens of Title IX to examine sexual violence as both a product and cause of gender inequality and discrimination. Students will study key legal guidance, cases, and commentary to gain an understanding of both the practical applications and theoretical underpinnings of Title IX.
