Introduction               Perhaps,               it               can               be               argued               that               women               had               the               right               to               an               education               long               before               they               attained               the               right               to               vote.

However,               the               biggest               irony               is               that               the               education               that               women               received               was               not               equal               to               that               of               a               man.

Education               for               women               from               a               historical               perspective               reflected               the               role               that               women               were               expected               to               play               in               society:               wife,               mother,               and               daughter.

In               fact,               it               was               an               extension               of               the               role               that               women               typically               carried               out               in               the               home.

As               noted               earlier,               it               could               be               said               that               the               education               that               women               received               supplemented               the               role               that               they               were               expected               to               play               in               society.

Furthermore,               not               every               woman               was               allowed               to               receive               an               education               in               fact               many               women               in               American               society               was               eliminated               from               this               process               altogether               namely               African               American               women.
               In               fact,               there               are               many               supporters               and               advocates               of               this               amendment               that               are               actively               advocating               to               make               sure               that               the               ground               that               has               been               gained               is               not               lost               through               political               maneuvering               and               special               interest               groups               that               are               lobbying               to               have               this               amendment               altered.

The               objective               of               this               paper               is               to               examine               this               amendment               from               a               historical               perspective;               define               it               from               a               legal               point               of               view;               as               well               as,               scrutinize               the               overall               impact               that               this               amendment               has               had               on               gender               equality               for               both               males               and               females               in               general;               investigate               some               of               the               common               myths               surrounding               this               controversial               amendment;               and               explore               some               of               the               key               areas               that               this               amendment               protects               since               its               implementation               in               1972.
               History
               Title               IX               is               an               amendment               to               the               Civil               Rights               Act               that               was               passed               in               1964.

It               is               an               amendment               to               the               Civil               Rights               that               was               passed               to               ensure               that               women               would               have               equal               access               that               would               enable               them               to               receive               an               adequate               and               equal               education.

Most               people               associate               the               Title               IX               as               the               admendment               that               was               responsible               for               opening               up               the               legal               door               that               allowed               women               to               play               sports               and               have               their               sports               programs               funded.

However,               as               a               consequence               of               Title               IX               it               did               guarantee               that               women               and               girls               would               be               able               to               receive               a               quality               education,               gain               access               to               programs               that               would               provide               assistance               for               them               in               other               educational               areas               other               than               just               gaining               the               right               to               participate               in               sports.

In               fact,               Title               IX               was               an               amendment               to               the               Civil               Arts               Act               that               was               passed               in               1964;               "In               1972,               Congress               passed               Title               IX               of               the               Education               Amendments               Act,               supposedly               mandating               equality               for               women               in               educational               facilities"               (Strom               317).
               Allowing               women               to               play               sports               in               an               educational               setting               is               what               people               tend               to               remember               about               Title               IX,               however               long               before               Title               IX               went               into               effect               there               was               always               some               type               of               restriction               on               the               type               of               sports               women               were               allowed               to               participate               in.

This               was               based               on               a               fear               that               women               could               get               hurt               if               they               were               to               engage               in               any               type               of               contact               sport.

"The               Olympics               began               in               the               1900               with               clear               strictures               against               the               participation               of               most               team               sports,               especially               those               sports               that               include               body               contact"               (Strom               317).
               What               is               Title               IX?
               The               Title               IX               amendment               was               implemented               to               create               equal               educational               opportunities               for               both               females               and               males.

Most               people               think               that               Title               IX               is               a               program               that               protects               women               exclusively,               however               that               is               not               necessarily               true.

In               fact,               this               is               an               amendment               that               has               benefitted               women               in               many               educational               settings,               and               provides               programs               that               have               supported               women               in               helping               to               elevate               past               practices               that               have               created               inequity               in               the               classroom               environment.

To               put               it               another               way,               "Title               IX               was               the               first               comprehensive               federal               law               to               prohibit               sex               discrimination               against               students               and               employees               of               educational               institutions"               (Sadker               &               Sadker).

Let's               examine               some               of               these               myths               and               provide               accurate               facts               that               will               help               to               increase               awareness               about               what               this               amendment               actually               is:
               One               of               the               common               myths               is               that               associated               with               this               amendment               is               that               its               sole               purpose               is               it               mainly               protects               athletics               when               in               fact,               "Title               IX               applies               to               every               aspect               of               federally               funded               education               programs.

That               is               not               accurate,               "Both               male               and               female               students               are               protected               by               Title               IX"               (TitleIX.Info).

Even               though               Title               IX               has               improved               some               areas               of               education               for               both               men               and               women,               because               many               peope               advocated               for               these               changes;               and               they               have               been               involved               with               monitoring               this               amendment;               and,               they               continue               to               be               responsible               for               making               sure               that               it               is               being               carried               out               according               to               the               law.

Even               though               some               people               would               probably               say               that               there               are               still               discrepancies               that               exist               between               men               and               women.
               It               is               clear               that               girls               have               benefitted               from               Title               IX,               because               more               girls               are               actively               involved               with               playing               sports.

However,               it               is               a               false               assumption               that               girls               have               equal               opportunities               in               all               areas               of               sports.

When               in               fact,               "In               2000-02,               only               44               percent               of               coaches               of               women's               teams               were               women.

In               1972,               the               number               was               over               90               percent"               (TitleIX.Info).

Lastly,               it               is               clear               that               Title               IX               has               helped               women               to               gain               in               certain               areas               of               education,               however               because               that               discrepancy               was               so               large               and               was               in               place               for               so               long               Title               IX               is               still               a               work               in               progress               that               will               have               to               be               amended               whenever               it               becomes               apparent               that               it               still               a               need               for               it               to               be               fine               tuned.

Additionally,               there               are               still               areas               that               need               to               be               refined;               women               still               have               not               acquired               a               level               playing               field               that               would               put               them               on               the               same               level               as               a               men.

    As               the               world               stage               shrinks               and               the               English               language               dominates               business,               highly               qualified               students               seek               international               experience.

    What               are               the               strengths               and               weaknesses,               the               similarities               and               the               differences               among               them,               say,               Harvard               and               Cambridge?

    Stanford               and               Oxford?

    MIT               and               Imperial               College               London?

    U.S.

    News               &               World               Report               and               the               QS               World               University               Rankings               are               widely               regarded               as               the               top               sources               for               ranking               the               best               universities,               colleges               and               graduate               schools               in               America               and               throughout               the               world.

    It               comes               as               no               surprise               that               for               the               past               several               years,               the               top               15               are               all               located               in               two               countries:               the               United               States               and               the               United               Kingdom.

    What               does               this               mean               for               students               who               are               considering               both               countries               for               a               university               career?

    Specialization               is               the               main               difference               
                   In               the               U.K.

    most               students               specialize               in               just               two               or               three               subjects               in               the               final               two               years               of               their               secondary               education.

    While               American               colleges               and               universities               embrace               undergraduate               generalists,               Great               Britain's               universities               pride               themselves               on               producing               experts               in               any               given               field.

    Although               long               popular               in               the               U.S.,               Liberal               Arts               does               not               exist               as               a               university               choice               in               Great               Britain.

    In               American               universities               one               is               exposed               to               a               range               of               subjects               outside               one's               major,               while               the               undergraduate               major               in               the               U.K.

    must               be               declared               before               even               applying.

    Therefore,               early               specialization               in               the               U.K.

    affects               high               school               applicants               and               it               is               something               for               American               students               to               consider.

    English               students               must               narrow               down               their               subject               choices               at               age               14               and               then               further               narrow               that               down               at               16.

    By               age               17,               they               are               expected               to               choose               their               major,               which               is               a               mandatory               part               of               the               university               application               process.

    When               U.K.

    students               take               final               exams               for               university               admission,               known               as               A-levels,               in               the               Sixth               Form               (the               equivalent               of               junior               and               senior               year               combined),               they               have               already               narrowed               down               their               courses               of               study.

    A               budding               history               major               might               supplement               that               subject               with               English               Literature,               Religious               Studies,               Economics               and               a               foreign               language,               for               example.

    A               future               doctor               may               choose               Chemistry,               Biology               and               Further               Maths,               perhaps.

    It               is               well-known               that               History,               English,               Economics,               Medicine               and               Law               are               the               most               competitive               undergraduate               courses               in               the               U.K.,               especially               at               the               top               universities,               so               students               must               take               this               into               consideration               when               applying.

    The               U.K.

    produces               specialists;               even               engineering,               law,               architecture               and               medicine               are               taken               up               at               undergraduate               level.

    However,               one               is               not               as               readily               exposed               to               the               range               of               subjects               that               are               available               to               American               students.
                   Age               Matters               and               Teaching               Styles               Differ               
                   Young               people               are               legally               adults               at               age               18               in               the               U.K.

    As               a               "fresher"               (freshman)               students               can               legally               drink,               drive,               vote,               pay               bills,               work,               travel,               study               and               live               independently               in               a               cosmopolitan               city.

    This               is               exceedingly               clear               as               reflected               in               limited               face-to-face               classroom               time               with               faculty               members.

    Roughly               eight               hours               per               week               of               class               time               is               common.

    Much               more               time               is               spent               on               independent               study               and               producing               work               at               one's               own               pace.

    Self-motivation               is               critical.

    As               a               result,               many               students               do               work               part-time               or               become               involved               in               campus               activities.

    At               American               universities,               the               class               time               is               far               more               intensive               and               students               develop               stronger               bonds               with               professors.

    With               30               hours               of               class               per               week,               finding               time               for               activities,               sports               and               clubs               is               more               of               a               challenge.

    British               universities               may               not               be               ideal               for               those               who               find               it               difficult               to               self-motivate               or               who               lack               discipline               when               faced               with               the               challenges               of               settling               in               on               one's               own               without               falling               behind               on               coursework.
                   Campus               Culture               
                   Many               top               British               universities               are               located               is               in               the               heart               of               a               dynamic,               multicultural               city,               such               as               London,               Manchester,               Birmingham,               Nottingham,               Bristol,               Oxford               or               Cambridge,               to               name               a               few.

    At               Oxbridge               (as               Oxford               and               Cambridge               are               jointly               called)               the               individual               colleges               do               have               quads               of               their               own               within               the               university               and               some               universities               do               have               campuses.

    However,               in               the               capital               city               a               student               is               just               another               young               Londoner               riding               the               tube               and               struggling               to               pay               rent               for               a               tiny               apartment               in               a               vast,               expensive               city.

    In               England,               students               are               street-smart               and               independent,               but               on               the               flipside,               they               have               less               pride,               a               looser               attachment,               to               their               school.

    English               parents               don't               feel               that               they               need               to               start               saving               for               college               the               minute               a               child               is               born.

    While               fees               are               about               to               rise               in               the               U.K.

    and               American               students               are               not               entitled               to               the               fees               that               students               from               within               the               EU               are               allowed,               I               doubt               the               latest               hike               in               fees               will               do               much               to               change               this;               universities               are               still               far               more               reasonable               than               in               the               US               at               a               top               charge               of               about               $15,000               to               20,000               per               year.

    Furthermore,               most               undergraduate               degrees               in               the               U.K.

    are               three               years               in               duration,               not               four.

    It's               a               little               known               fact               that               Americans               are               more               likely               to               be               admitted               to               a               U.K.

    Endowments               are               tiny               compared               to               the               U.S.

    ivy               league               schools               and               other               top               institutions,               and               this               is               also               reflected               in               generally               less               impressive               facilities               and               housing.


                   
                   Plan               Ahead               
                   The               goal               posts               are               shifting               in               the               middle               of               the               game               on               an               uneven               playing               field.

    It               is               not               surprising               that               in               2011               the               top               universities               are               in               the               English-speaking               world               and               that               they               are               attracting               increasing               numbers               of               international               students.

    Keeping               one's               options               open               is               always               sound.

    Planning               ahead               is               absolutely               essential               when               considering               the               differences               in               culture               and               style,               in               subject               depth               and               breadth               as               offered               by               top               America's               and               Great               Britain's               top               academic               institutions.

    An               emotionally               mature               American               student               with               a               GPA               4.0+               does               have               a               shot               at               winning               a               place               at               Oxford,               Cambridge,               University               College               London               (UCL),               London               School               of               Economics               (LSE)               or               Imperial               College               in               London,               known               as               the               Golden               Five.

    It               is               terribly               important               to               be               prepared               to               speak               passionately               at               interview               about               one's               subject,               which               must               be               declared               prior               to               the               autumn               application               deadlines.

    English               students               must               have               their               ducks               in               a               row               by               age               16,               so               it               is               wise               for               able               and               ambitious               American               students               to               plan               early               if               interested               in               attending               one               of               the               top               20               British               universities,               which               are               known               as               the               Russell               Group.

    Furthermore,               all               applications               in               the               U.K.

    are               done               through               UCAS,               a               centralized               clearinghouse               and               each               student               is               allowed               only               a               handful               of               applications.
                   Can               I               apply               to               the               U.K.

    with               my               SAT               scores?


                   Yes.

    You               do               not               have               to               take               the               A-levels               that               U.K.

    students               need               for               admission               but               you               will               need               to               apply               via               UCAS.

    The               British               universities               will               understand               your               SAT               scores,               AP               courses               and               your               personal               statement,               which               counts               heavily.

    Personal               statements               are               different               than               in               the               USA;               they               are               about               your               reasons               to               pursue               a               field               of               study               rather               than               about               your               own               experiences.

    In               addition,               some               courses               have               their               own               examinations,               for               example               the               History               Aptitude               Test.

    Interviews               are               important               and               may               be               offered               to               you               in               the               U.S.

    or               abroad.

    The               deadline               for               Oxbridge               applications               is               October               15,               a               couple               of               months               earlier               than               for               the               other               U.K.

    universities               and               for               Oxbridge               you               must               select               the               college               within               the               university               you               are               applying               to,               alternatively               go               for               open               admission               to               any               college.

    Each               college               has               its               own               culture,               location               and               strengths,               so               there               is               a               lot               to               know               prior               to               applying.

    Results               are               typically               mailed               out               earlier               than               in               the               U.S.,               Oxford               replies               in               December,               Cambridge               in               January               and               others               even               earlier,               depending               on               how               soon               you               submit               your               application.

    Check               out               thestudentroom.co.uk               to               join               active               forums               and               get               advice               from               other               students               about               the               whole               process.
