Abstract
In this article the writer points out that when the anti-discriminatory legislative amendment known as Title XI was passed in 1972, many Americans laughed at the idea of women participating in competitive sports at all, much less female sports competing for an equal level of spectator attention and funding at institutions of higher learning. This paper looks at the legacy of Title XI, as today, powerful and positive images of female sports stars such as Venus Williams adorn the covers of magazines, and women everywhere run in marathons, take their daughters to soccer leagues or participate in such leagues themselves, and simply enjoy the delights of hard, physical competitive effort. The writer argues that Title IX must continue to mandate equal funding as without equal funding it will be too easy for colleges and high schools to go back to the old traditions of supporting male sports disproportionately, in comparison to supporting female activities.
From the Paper
"Encouraging women to participate in athletics is not merely an issue of equality in school, or about building champion athletes who can win college championships. It is also an issue of health. As America becomes increasingly concerned about the inactivity of its citizens, encouraging a group of people such as women who have been historically discouraged from being physically active is vital for the well-being of the entire nation. Also, when people compete in athletics, they experience a positive uplift in their sense of self-esteem as well as their physical prowess. Women must see other women, like themselves, participating in sports, rather than simply see images of themselves as spectators on the sidelines to gain this sense of positive esteem."
"Critics of Title XI argue that by requiring institutions of higher learning to provide equal funding and equal opportunities for men and women is not valid, because there is less public interest, amongst both men and women, in collegiate sports."

Abstract
This paper provides a brief historical overview of the role of women in sports. The paper looks at Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972 and how judicial interpretation has devalued Title IX policy. The paper argues that a series of court decisions regarding gender equity compliance have effectively dismissed two of the test's three factors and produced a mutated version of the law's founding intent. The paper describes how institutional and agency response to Title IX and to these decisions forces the continual containment of female intercollegiate athletics. Finally, the paper considers the most recent Title IX policy clarifications and concludes that until Title IX is allowed to dismantle the socially constructed dichotomy of femininity and athleticism, it will not eradicate gender inequities. The paper uses MLA style footnotes but does not append a bibliography.
Outline:
Introduction
The Role of Women in Sport-Historical Perspectives
Title IX Policy and Implementing Regulations
Judicial Devaluation of the Three Prong Test
Agency and Institutional Response to Title IX
Title IX at Thirty-The Most Recent Mutation of Gender Equality
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In 1968, a twelve-year old girl was playing catch with her brother before his Little League baseball game. A roving coach noticed her skilled throws and invited her to join her brother's team. Before the enthusiastic girl could shake her head in emphatic affirmation, the coach nonchalantly outlined a couple of caveats - she could play if she cut her hair short, like a boy, and he would call her "Bob." Not brought up to be a "covert operative," she politely declined. Nearly four decades later, accomplished athlete Dot Richardson told this story to the United States Senate as part of her testimony for the promotion and advancement of women in sports. She was that 12-year-old girl, and in the late 1960s and early 1970s, she began her ascent into womanhood in an era when "female" and "athlete" were mutually exclusive terms. Yet, by 1996, having developed into one of the most formidable shortstops in Olympic history, Richardson helped propel the United States softball team to gold-medal glory."

The Title Insurance Industry, 2008.
Presents an overview of a career in the title insurance industry.
1,910 words (approx. 7.6 pages), 8 sources, APA, AU$ 96.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that title insurance is protection against loss arising from problems connected to the title of your property, which is usually purchased in conjunction with the purchase of a house or other type of real estate, but can also include insurance issued to authenticate the owner's title to works of art, including paintings and sculptures. The author points out that, in the future, many companies, such as Lloyds or Chubbs, may offer more in the way of title insurance for fine pieces of art is because this sub specialty could become quite profitable. The paper contends that the career market for title insurers or for those who offer such services on an independent agent basis seems to be in a strong growth and stability market at home and abroad.
From the Paper
"Having such a disproportionate amount of independent agents offering the same type of product could lend itself to situations of abuse, and that could spell trouble for the consumer. There are thousands of companies that offer mortgages, and many of them are through independent agents. There are only five title insurers that account for approximately ninety percent of the issued policies. These five insurers do not necessarily include Aris Title Insurance Corp, although the five insurers (depending on the viability of the market) could certainly join Aris in offering such services if they were deemed profitable."

Title IX - Current Interpretation and Enforcement Should Continue, 2002.
Argues that the enactment of Title IX has been very effective in equalizing rights between men and women and that its continued enforcement is necessary if this equality is to be maintained.

Abstract
Since the enactment of Title IX in 1972, it certainly seems appropriate to suggest that the United States is a more equal, more educated, and more successful nation because of this legislation. So much has been accomplished in the classroom and on the playing field because of Title IX. Thanks to Title IX, we as a nation have confirmed what can be accomplished when we give every person (both men and women) an equal opportunity to be their best. Therefore, the current interpretation and enforcement of Title IX should continue so that we as a nation continue to progress instead of regress in the arena of gender equality.

Title IX of the Education Amendments, 2007.
This paper discuses Title IX of the Education Amendments to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, also known as the Patsy T. Mink Equal Opportunity in Education Act in honor of its creator.

Abstract
This paper explains that Title IX was the first comprehensive federal law of its kind intended to prohibit sexual discrimination against students and employees of educational institutions. The author points out that many people mistakenly believe Title IX only deals with athletics; whereas, it actually covers ten key areas such as access to education for pregnant and parenting students and standardized testing. The paper stresses that Title IX did much to alleviate the belief that men and women are not capable of reaching the same levels of achievement. The author concludes that, although not all traces of gender inequality in educational settings have been eradicated, it is quite obvious Title IX has been a success.
From the Paper
"Patsy Mink, the creator of Title IX, was a United States Representative from Hawaii. She was the first minority female to serve in Congress. Throughout her long and successful career, Mink did much to advance women's struggle for equality. Patsy Mink realized that American society is not constructed as a society that readily provides equal opportunities to males and females. Mink experienced many instances of discrimination while trying to advance through education. "

Abstract
The paper discusses the argument that Title IX, the law about gender equality, has caused reverse discrimination for males in sports. The paper looks at the argument that Title IX has helped bring more funding to women, but has hurt men immensely and has failed to generate any substantial amount of interest in women's sports. The paper explores the research and concludes that Title IX has not led to reverse discrimination. The paper shows how Title IX was not created and enforced to discriminate against men, but rather to provide opportunities for women.

From the Paper
"The term Title IX has been thrown around a lot these past few years, however a new question has arisen: Has Title IX led to reverse discrimination in American universities? Title IX is known as a living, breathing law as it has faced over 20 proposed changes. Considering the numerous times the law has been challenged and subjected to reviews, it is hard to understand why anyone would want to change the nation's definition of equality. Since Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 was passed, the United States has gone through serious changes in the classroom and on the playing field. According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, reverse discrimination is stated as, "discrimination against males (as in employment or education)". Title IX was undoubtedly the savior of women's rights. However, in recent years, Title IX has become the subject of reverse discrimination and has even led national associations to file lawsuits based on the losses of male athletes."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The Supreme Court outlined the standards for such a cause of action in McDonnell Douglas v. Green and restated those factors 20 years later in St. Mary?s Honor Center v. Hicks. First, a plaintiff must establish a prima facie case of discrimination. Satisfying that requirement is not too difficult. For example, in McDonnell Douglas, the Court held that the plaintiff could meet his burden by showing that he belonged to a group protected under Title VII, that he applied for a job opening with the defendant and was rejected, and that the position remained open after his rejection. "Establishment of the prima facie case in effect creates a presumption that the employer unlawfully discriminated against the employee.""

Conclusions
From the Paper
"The America public takes female sports stars for granted. Whether it is college basketball, softball or baseball the public supports their existence. Professional female tennis players and golf pros have fans who follow their career with diligence. The female sport circuit is but one more leg in the wheel of gender equality, but it hasn?t always been this way. Just a little more than three decades ago women were shut out of many sports activities and those they were allowed to participate in were the first to be cut when budget problems would strike."

Abstract
This paper examines how, since the tragedy of September 11, 2001, employment claims of discrimination on the basis of national origin have risen substantially. It looks at how, with the increase in discrimination based on national origin, it seems appropriate to talk about what national-origin discrimination is and what workplace protections exist under Title VII to combat this type of discrimination. It focuses on these topics, looks at the development of Title VII, and identifies the impact it has had in the workplace. Additionally, it looks at who is and is not protected under Title VII and reviews policies and procedures that employers can implement to limit their exposure to such claims.
From the Paper
"National origin discrimination has been broadly defined as ?including, but not limited to, the denial of equal employment opportunity because of [an applicant or employee?s] or his or her ancestor?s place of origin; or because an applicant has the physical, cultural, or linguistic characteristics of a national origin group? (EEOC). It is illegal for employers to segregate, limit, and or classify an employee based on the individual?s national origin, which may rob them of benefits, opportunities, or privileges in their employment (Bennett 401). Oddly enough, according to the EEOC, it is suggested that national origin discrimination is often based solely on physical characteristics, such as facial features, which is not an appropriate basis for determining national origin. The EEOC also protects against discrimination on the basis of association or marriage with individuals of a particular national origin group; attendance, membership or participation in schools, churches, temples, synagogues or mosques; or any people with a surname affiliated with an ethnicity."

Title VII Compliance for Business, 2004.

Abstract
This paper begins by providing a background and definition of Title VII. It then briefly discusses the impact of Title VII in the workplace and further looks at who is covered and not covered under the law. It concludes with an explanation of policies that companies should have in place to avoid Title VII violations.
From the Paper
"On a less easy to define level, a company can also ensure compliance with Title IIV by treating the law with an attitude of respect, by not tolerating jokes in its company materials that fosters discrimination against any groups, even those groups not protected by Title IIV, such as gays and lesbians, or even illegal immigrants. As the law is always in flux, and what is considered intolerant is often quite subjective, it is better for a company to err on the side of being tolerant to the lifestyles and cultures of all its employees, than insisting upon a particular company attitude that smothers, rather than fosters diversity."
