2008 NCAA Gender Equity Manual : This manual was written with college and university administrators, general counsel, faculty athletics representatives, Title IX and equal opportunity officers, athletics administrators, staff, and student-athletes in mind. It is not intended to provide the lone standard by which an institution measures its compliance with Title IX or a formalistic blueprint for compliance with the NCAA-adopted principle of gender equity. Rather, it is hoped that this manual explains the law in a way that is accessible to those seeking to understand the law, to incorporate gender-equitable policies into existing athletics programs and to evaluate their implementation in a meaningful way.
Teaching Title IX : This resource includes a model PowerPoint, background notes and web and video resources to help individuals interested in teaching Title IX and NCAA gender equity topics. Also see NCAA Title IX Resource Center.
Pregnant and Parenting Student Athletes: Resources and Model Policies - Developed at the request of the NCAA association-wide Committee on Women’s Athletics, the toolkit can help explain medical, legal and treatment issues and best practices to staff, coaches and student-athletes. A facilitator’s PowerPoint and notes, as well as video from the 2008 NCAA Convention panel on this topic are included on the handbook CD and web site.
