TITLE: An Inquiry into the Resilience of Title IX Reforms at
the Local Level.
YEAR PUBLISHED: 1982
NOTE: 14 p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the
American Educational Research Association (New York, NY,
March 19-23, 1982).
ABSTRACT: An informal followup study was conducted to
determine the permanence of gains in compliance with Title
IX of the 1972 Education Amendments in 23 California
districts that had used compliance strategies developed by
the California Coalition for Sex Equity in Education.
Fourteen of the original districts' strategy implementation
teams were contacted and two members of each team
interviewed by phone. Analysis of the responses suggests
that the implementation strategies may have had permanent
results. Programmatic changes made by the districts tended
to be maintained across all categories of Title IX concern,
including the areas of equity in physical education,
athletics, and academic courses for students and equity in
personnel practices for teaching and administrative staffs.
New initiatives tended to be taken most frequently in
districts that had made appreciable gains in the original
experimental period. (Author/PGD)

This is an ERIC database document. ERIC is the National
Education Information Network for providing ready access
to the literature of education -descriptions of exemplary
programs, research and development efforts, and related
information that can be used in developing more effective
educational programs. The ERIC database is currently
available on CD-ROM in the main library (ground floor of

following ERIC TITLE NUMBER indicates an ERIC document,
an unpublished research study. Most of these items are
available in the Microforms library, located on the 3rd
floor of the west wing. All you need is the six digit ED
number. If EJ follows ERIC TITLE NUMBER the item is a
journal article. The complete journal name is listed after
