• W1570102343 abstract "A PLACE ON THE TEAM: THE TRIUMPH AND TRAGEDY OF TITLE IX. WELCH SUGGS. PRINCETON UNIVERSITY PRESS, PRINCETON, NJ. 2005. 283 PAGES. $27.95 For more than thirty years, the fight for opportunity for female athletes has been waged in the halls of Congress, college athletic departments, high school gymnasiums, and court chambers. In fact, a search of this journal yields an ongoing debate about the legal interpretation of the law, which is now more than thirty years old.1 In this journalistic reprisal of the history of Title IX, Welch Suggs provides readers with a relatively balanced accounting of women's search for athletic opportunity in educational institutions. Additionally, Suggs reviews the accompanying debate regarding philosophical, legal, and moral disagreements of the 1972 law and its subsequent interpretation by the federal government and its implementation (or lack thereof) by educational institutions. By the author's own admission, the book is a work of journalism and some readers may question the book's conclusions due to the lack of scholarly rigor. Suggs, the senior editor for athletics at the Chronicle of Higher Education, draws upon his experience as a journalist, extensive legal research, and interviews with key actors in the area of scholastic athletics to create an accounting of the development and implementation of Title IX. The book accomplishes, without pretense, its objective to provide the reader with an intelligible overview of Title IX's origins, evolution, triumphs, and tragedies. Suggs recounts not just the story of Title IX, but also the philosophical sparring over the intent and implementation of the law. Mapping out Congressional debates, court rulings, bureaucratic guidelines, and institutional implementation strategies, Suggs walks the reader through a murky landscape of noble ideals, vague governmental guidance, and token attempts at compliance. Three primary themes permeate this book: (a) the struggle for parity in scholastic athletics; (b) the philosophical debate regarding the intent, implementation, and impact of Title IX; and (c) the changing nature of women's sports as they increasingly mimic men's sports. The overriding theme of A Place on the Team is the development of female athletic opportunities in educational institutions. There is little doubt that Title IX spearheaded a major evolution in women's sports by forcing almost all educational institutions that receive federal money to provide equal educational opportunities for both genders. As Suggs illustrates with examples from government investigations and court proceeding, the problem with the pursuit of equality in scholastic athletics is how to define the term equal when the two genders are kept separate. Does one measure number of teams, playing opportunities, scholarships, or operational budgets? Or, does one base the measurement on proportionality of opportunity determined by the total number of women enrolled in the school, total number of eligible women enrolled at the school, or proportion of women merely interested in playing varsity-level sports? Using a variety of such indicators, Suggs provides a thirty-year overview of how institutions have sought to demonstrate compliance with the law. This book, however, is not simply another recount of how various metrics demonstrate educational institutions' failure to provide gender parity through athletic opportunities; Suggs also uses such numeric measures to demonstrate the difficultly for institutions to achieve parity given vague federal interpretations of the law and fundamental terms. In discussing the origins of the debate, Suggs traces not just the development of the law, but also women's sports in general. The history of women in collegiate sports does not begin in the 1970s with the passage of Title IX; rather, as Suggs observes in a brief history of the sport, women have engaged in athletic competition at the collegiate level for nearly a century. …" @default.
