Replacing State Appropriations with Alternative Revenue Sources: The Case of Voluntary Support

Using data from the 1994-2004 period, we demonstrate that the use of private donations to replace state appropriations substantially increases resource disparity among public institutions of higher education. We also find that an individual public institution generates slightly fewer gift dollars when receiving relatively lower levels of state appropriations.

Transfer Access from Community Colleges and the Distribution of Elite Higher Education

This study investigates the contribution of community college transfers to the socioeconomic diversity of elite colleges and universities. We find that elite institutions enroll few transfers and, among them, few are low-income students from community colleges. Transfer primarily serves middle- and high-income students as a route to elite institutions.

Gender Equity in Intercollegiate Athletics: Determinants of Title IX Compliance

Using new data on intercollegiate athletes, this article shows that recent improvement in Title IX compliance among NCAA Division I institutions was previously overestimated, and provides the first estimates of compliance in Divisions II and III. In addition, regression analyses investigate how institutional characteristics relate to the extent of noncompliance.

Institutional Strategies to Achieve Gender Equity in Intercollegiate Athletics: Does Title IX Harm Male Athletes?

The year 2002 marked the 30th anniversary of the passage of Title IX, which prohibits discrimination by gender in any federally funded educational activity. Although the scope of Title IX includes all aspects of education, one area that has received particular attention is that of college athletics; essentially, Title IX requires that all institutions of higher education provide student access to sport participation on a genderneutral basis. As a result, athletic opportunities for female undergraduates have expanded significantly, although not to equality with men, since 1972. For example, the female share of college athletes rose to 42 percent in 20002001 from only 15 percent in 1972 (U.S. Department of Education, 1997, 2003). One policy concern addressed in this paper is whether this movement toward gender equity was achieved by increasing athletic opportunities for women or by decreasing opportunities for men.
