Title IX
From page eight
Athletic scholarships also must be distributed in an equal manner, so that students interested in athletics can qualify for funding. Some of the factors that Title IX looks at when inspecting an athletic program are:
- Sports selected and how well they reflect the interests and abilities of both sexes
- Provision of supplies and equipment.
- Game and practice schedules.
- Travel and per diem allowances.
- Coaching and academic tutoring op-
portunity families and the assignment and pay
off.
- Housing and dining facilities and publicity.
Locker rooms, practice and competitive facilities.
The athletic department, unlike other areas of the University, has until three years from July 21, 1976 to comply with Title IX guidelines. This was included in the revision of Title IX because athletics were thought to require more changes.
"It can't be a waiting period." Waugh
hinted at the three-year period. "It has to be
a movover."
SCHOLARSHIPS and FINANCIAL AID
In addition to athletics, Title IX is concerned with financial aid and foreign education.
Sex is prohibited from being a determination in awarding financial aid. Provisions have been made to allow scholarships to be awarded from sex-restrictive and non sex-restrictive sources. If enough aid isn't available through non sex-restrictive sources (such as a Kansas honor scholarship) for members of one sex, such students are awarded scholarships from sex-restrictive sources or Summerfield scholarship) either be limited or that funds be obtained from somewhere else to make up the difference.
Foreign scholarships, such as Rhodes scholarships, are exempt from Title IX because, the act says, Congress didn't intend to end such programs.
Schools are allowed to award single-sex scholarships, but they must make other foreign-study opportunities available to students of the other sex.
Physical education classes are allowed separation of sexes during participation in contact sports. Grouping by a student's ability is also permitted.
ADMISSIONS
It is forbidden to base admission to the library on the basis of sex. Title XII prohibits disclosure.
- candidate criteria (specific tests)
- application of sex-based tests or selection criteria
- data collection, populations

-Discrimination on the basis of pregnancy and related conditions.
-Setting of quotas for number of men or women admitted to any school.
However, T1X calls IX for the recruitment of a new patient, and remedy the effects of past discrimination.
- Access to and participation in course
activities and extracurricular activities,
including internships.
TREATMENT OF STUDENTS is covered by Title IX in the following areas:
—Use of facilities and comparability and availability of housing.
-Eligibility for, and receipt or enjoyment of, benefits, services and financial aid.
EMPLOYMENT IS covered by Title IX as follows:
- Job classification and structure.
—Employment criteria.

— Fringe benefits.
-Compensation.

—Pre-employment inquiries. Frm or call: 800-735-6222.
Another area affected by Title IX is honor societies. Honor societies are specifically prohibited from maintaining sex-restricted activities and are not required to follow guidelines, honor societies must either lose the benefits of an adviser and free meeting space or accept members of the opposite gender.
Fraternities and sororites are exempted from these restrictions.
DONALDSON, WHO works on the employment subcommittee, said, "We (the committee) have had to ask a lot of hard questions. Fortunately, Title IX has a lot of leeway. It gives institutions time to change."
Patton said, however, that if change isn't forthcoming, complaints against the University can go through three channels: (1) the university's internal procedures of HEW and the courts.
HEW enforcement, however, is lacking,
Patton said.
Ken Dodds, assistant to the University general counsel, said KU was hoping that Mr. Tuchmann's compliance with Title IX by the self-evaluation deadline. He said that any problems of noncompliance by departments would be handled through administrative
"There isn't any muscle that's exercised in
the consistent way," the under-
studies said. "It's not a matter of gravity."
