| Abstract: | Three years after Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 became law, the U. S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare provided regulations for the implementation of Title IX. This report reviews the implications of these regulations as well as several of the court cases in which discrimination on the basis of sex has been declared unconstitutional. A discussion of problems associated with mandated institutional self-evaluation and advantages and disadvantages of various methods used are included. Effectiveness of such self-studies still requires some time to assess. A brief review of the historical and present situation of women in higher education is presented, and its importance noted as the type of discrimination discussed provided the impetus for adoption of Title IX. However, Title IX represents departure from similar legislation (Titles IV, VI, and VII) in that sex discrimination is prohibited as opposed to specifying females as a specific target group. Women generally, and particularly in higher education, are still discriminated against. Implementation of Title IX regulations depends on the commitment of institutional chief administrators and the aggressiveness of the women charged with monitoring Title IX stipulations.
