Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine what measures Athletic Directors of NCAA Division I intercollegiate institutions with an under- graduate enrollment of 20,000 or more were taking to meet the compli- ance standards of Title IX. Thirty-seven out of the seventy-two questionnaires sent were returned, for a response rate of 51.4 percent. Each respondent completed a questionnaire which was specifically designed to gain a response to a series of questions concerning their particular insti- tution's level of compliance with Title IX.

The statistical analysis consisted of one-way MANOVAs, descriptive statistics, subsequent MANOVAS, Newman-Keuls post hoc tests, and/or frequency distribution with percentages. The data was analyzed using the Statistical Analysis System (SAS). The findings revealed that insti- tutions in the study are slowly starting to decrease the disparities be- tween their men's and women's athletic programs. However, gender-equity has not yet been achieved in NCAA Division I intercollegiate insti- tutions with an undergraduate enrollment of 20,000 or more.
