While gender equity progress is evident with the establishment of equal starting salaries for faculty at similar rank, numerous problems still exist. Valian (2004) noted, \"there is greater movement of women than men into part-time positions; advancement is slower for women than for men; women earn less money than men except at entry level; women are particularly underrepresented at top-tier institutions; women receive fewer national awards and prizes\" (p.208) . The situation leads one to surmise: If the problems are easily identifiable then why are the solutions so elusive? Briskin (2001) asserted establishing effective equity strategy can be challenging given present postsecondary conditions. She explained:  \nIn the current context the struggles around hierarchical organizational practices, affirmative action, curricular development and pedagogical innovation face mounting challenges. The promotion of marketization, the university-corporate nexus and private universities, combined with chronic underfunding and attacks on the mission of the academy, especially in the area of the liberal arts are endemic. These trajectories undermine collective consciousness and community and exacerbate the individualism and competitions already inherent in university culture. Further, globalization and neoliberalism are limiting access to university education, legitimizing attacks on equality-seeking by marginalized groups and reshaping the practice and meaning of citizenship (p.4) .  \nIn such an environment, one hardly should be surprised by complications elicited from attempts to craft gender equity policy for student-athletes. The development of such policy has been a painstaking process for Canadian officials at the national governing body of intercollegiate sport. Five years after a decision to update equity and equality goals initially put forth in the mid-nineties, no concrete policy has been formally accepted or implemented. However, an examination of current problems experienced by Canadian policy makers suggests there may be benefits in studying Title IX athletic legislation in American institutions of higher education. Title IX has been in place for 34 years and during this time the athletic policy has survived challenges in all three levels of U.S. government. Scrutiny of the legislation recently culminated with the U.S. Department of Education’s (DOE) Secretary’s Commission on Opportunities in Athletics-the first federal advisory panel created to study Title IX. The 15-member Commission collected information, analyzed issues, and obtained broad public input for the purpose of improving the application of current federal standards for measuring equal opportunity for individuals participating in athletics under Title IX.  \nThe purpose of this paper is to demonstrate ways in which U.S. Title IX athletic gender equity policy could be adapted for use in Canadian higher education. In order to determine the potential to which American policy could be extrapolated and used in Canada, an examination of the Canadian development of athletic equity policy in higher education is carried out. This involves current and proposed policy initiatives by Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) . The paper then outlines intricacies of American Title IX athletic legislation and explains specific criticisms surrounding it. The work concludes with a rationale supporting distinct elements of Title IX policy for adaptation in Canadian universities.  \nThe Canadian Milieu  \nCanadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) is a nati","cbCaihI9vzE5JRO6","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihI9vzE5JRO6","pdf",77815,"English","# Introduction\n# The Canadian Milieu\n## Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) and fairness\n## CIS gender equity principles and goals\n# Title IX and adaptation possibilities\n# Conclusion","[{\"question\":\"Why is creating gender equity policy in higher education described as challenging?\",\"answer\":\"The text explains that although some progress exists, multiple persistent problems remain, and broader postsecondary conditions make effective equity strategy difficult to implement.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the paper focus on regarding athletic gender equity in Canada and the U.S.?\",\"answer\":\"It argues that Canadian efforts to craft policy for student-athletes have been slow and outlines how U.S. Title IX could be adapted for use in Canadian higher education.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the paper describe Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) in relation to gender equity?\",\"answer\":\"CIS is presented as the national governing body for intercollegiate athletics, and it has issued updated gender equity principles and a set of goals intended to guide actions across its activities.\"}]","Athletic Gender Equity Policy in Canadian Universities - Issues and Possibilities | PDF",1792084939]
