This dissertation examined the experiences and challenges that Title IX coordinators face at small and medium-sized private institutions. Since the Dear Colleague Letter of 2011, the position of Title IX coordinator has changed significantly and the expectations to aggressively address campus violence have increased. Through the use of an online questionnaire and semi-structured interviews with Title IX coordinators, this study explored the specific challenges they face in their positions, especially if they have another full time role at their institution. Furthermore, I explored their paths to this position and what professional experiences they utilize in these roles. Lastly, I determined how they collaborate with the campus community on their campus and other Title IX coordinators on other campuses. I found that Title IX coordinators face great challenges in their roles and because 12 out of 13 in this study had another full time role, these challenges varied greatly. Some of the challenges that the Title IX coordinators face are lack of time, lack of financial resources, difficultly setting up a solid infrastructure, and challenges with the highly emotional topics and decisions. Even though there are a large number of challenges associated with being a Title IX coordinator, I found that collaborations with stakeholders on campus are extremely beneficial to Title IX work. Other sources of support include access to legal council and upper administration, which was largely due to the political capitol they had on their campus. The Title IX coordinators that also held other positions on their campuses noted a lack of intersection of those positions in most cases. The largest lack of intersection between the Title IX coordinator role and their other position was in the area of student interaction. Those that rarely interacted with students on a regular basis found it difficult to relate to students and understand student development. However, there were benefits to the multiple roles for those that did have regular student interaction as well as those that read policy and conducted investigations on a regular basis. This dissertation examined the role of Title IX coordinators and revealed several recommendations for how the position can be improved for those that hold multiple roles on their campuses. Implications for Title IX administrators and recommendations for those charged with addressing sexual misconduct with limited resources and time are also addressed.

The purpose of this study was to research Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972, providing an overview of the law by reviewing the changes it has gone through in the last twenty-one years, and by reporting the court cases which had been filed in regards to intercollegiate athletics and Title IX. After researching Title IX and the various court cases which were filed after the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1988, NCAA member institutions must work towards achieving equity in their athletic programs in the thirteen program component areas that are investigated by the Office for Civil Rights, or risk the penalty of being exempt from receiving federal financial assistance. With the passing of the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1988, recent pressure, through the use of lawsuits by women coaches and athletes. have left many universities with no other choice but to reach compliance with Title IX. Institutions have a responsibility to the female student-athlete in the areas of academics as well as athletics. Equality, not inequality in the academic arena and the athletic field, are what the NCAA member institutions must try to achieve. Advocates of womens sports have argued that failure to comply with Title IX will bring on an inevitable lawsuit and the courts will eventually decide the outcome. ; Master of Science in Education
