Federal Title IX Reviews: What They Really MeanOver the last three years, the federal government has stepped up its efforts to perform Title IXcompliance reviews in science and engineering, in response to criticisms in a 2004 reportpublished by the U.S. Government Accountability Office. The mere thought of using Title IX to“do for science and engineering what it has done for athletics”1 has fomented a great deal ofcontroversy.2,3 Moreover, the lack of visibility into what actually has resulted from these reviewshas limited any development of public awareness and understanding of why these reviews canbenefit academic institutions in general and their science, technology, engineering andmathematics (STEM) departments in particular.3,4This paper
