Assignment 5 — Discrimination


For this report, you are to examine a university athletic department and determine if it is
complying with Title IX and, if not, how to get the school in compliance.

Select a Division I university in the Big Ten Conference. Research that school’s student population numbers, male-female student population ratios, student-athlete numbers and male- female student-athlete ratios. You also will want to research that school’s athletic facilities for men and women, coaching staffing, and travel schedules.

Next, write a report (1) outlining the research that you have found, providing your analysis of whether the school is in compliance with Title IX based on the federal government’s three-part test, specifically applying each element of that test to the facts, and (3) providing your recommendations moving forward to assure that institution’s compliance with Title IX.
