  • Title IX Legal Memo America East Conference
    To: Amy Huchthausen, Commissioner, America East Conference From: Nancy Hogshead-Makar, CEO, Champion Women Amy Poyer, Senior Staff Attorney, California Women’s Law Center Date: June 26, 2020 Re: Legal Memo, Title IX Athletic Department Compliance On June 23, 2020, Title IX celebrated its 48th anniversary. While collegiate sports participation opportunities are rare and rationed, serving just 3% of the student body nationally, these opportunities provide considerable life-long benefits for participants in educational attainment, employment, and health. Yet despite the strong statute, interpreting regulations, and case law, women lag behind men by all measurable criteria, including opportunities to play, scholarship dollars, and treatment, and those gaps are growing at an unrestrained clip. In athletic scholarship dollars alone, women lose almost $1 billion dollars annually, solely because they are women. And as this memo establishes, the metrics for women athletes are getting worse, not better. In the past, sport leaders have put the burden for change on their students, 18–22-year-old women, to bring lawsuits in order to enforce Title IX; to get their schools to add more sports and treat them with the same dignity afforded men. The dramatic discrepancies between men’s and women’s sports programming cannot be resolved through federal courts. Indeed, it is unfair to expect these young women to shoulder the responsibility to remedy the systemic, intentional sex discrimination that fundamentally characterizes intercollegiate athletics. This legal memo, and our supporting documents and data from the Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act (EADA), are part of Champion Women and the California Women’s Law Center’s efforts to remedy sex discrimination in athletic departments.
