Title IX, published and promoted by the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, determines whether universities have the ability to properly engage in equal opportunity activities that embraces the idea of bringing equality to the underrepresented gender. Through the Title IX regulation, an institution who sponsors an athletic program, must provide equal opportunities and accommodations for both men and women. The three-part test associated with Title IX essentially determines whether a university is compliant with its ideology and establishes the institution with three means of abiding by its participation prerequisites. The three parts include; providing equal participation opportunities for male and female students that correlates

Title IX requires, “the institution to show a history and continuing practice of program expansion which is demonstrably responsive to the developing interests and abilities of the members of that sex” (Office of Civil Rights 49). While expansion for a gender specific activity that is under represented could potentially be profitable toward the university, expansion in general for many universities could be partially impossible due to the area in which the institution is located. For example, if the university had an athletics team which had no competition in the area and could not supply the demand to create a specific activity to an underrepresented gender, the university itself would not be able to comply Title IX, putting the university in a noncompliance dispute with the Title IX law. In the case of a universities inability to comply, the three prongs of Title IX become a hindrance to obtaining equality rather than legitimately enforcing equality throughout the institution. By enforcing equality through a step process rather than qualifying in one of three test, an institution’s students, male and female, would benefit in the long run whether the equality is within sports or academics, and would also enable the university to set up a fund or fundraise for the …show more content…
By enforcing a new plan, the increase in equality would expand among institutions, their academics, and the athletic programs. Title IX overall, aims to enforce institutions to accommodate the underrepresented sex and provide stability among equality within athletics. This may be a difficult task, but as universities become more diverse, using this law as a benefit is essential in the success of the students, as well as the continuation of programs within the university. Published and promoted by the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, this law determines whether universities have the ability to manage activities that embrace the idea of equality and university standards. For this to be successful, the university must provide equal opportunities and accommodations for both men and women. The three-part test associated with Title IX needs to be more developed and rationalized for the law to be properly met. Providing equal participation opportunities for male and female students that also represents the university population, expanding on a broken program, and attempting to show that they have properly accommodated the interest of the underrepresented members in a program is essentially unrealistic and holds more problems than need be.
