Abstract:

This report provides a summary of the federal agencies' enforcement of and compliance with the prohibition against sex discrimination mandated by Title IX and Executive Order 13160. Specifically, this report discusses the implementation of regulations and procedures for enforcing the Title IX compliance of grant recipients and for enforcing the compliance of the federal agencies themselves with President Clinton's Executive Order. In particular, this report focuses on the nondiscrimination policies of four science-oriented agencies: the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the Department of Energy (DOE). For purposes of comparison, this report also examines the policies and procedures of the Department of Education (ED). This report will not be updated.
