The Chronicle of Education is a fee based publication online and in print
that some of those on this discussion group may have access to full text
online through EBSCOHost, ProQuestDirect or Infotrac of Gale via their
college or public library. I found that EBSCO carries the Chronicle
fulltext by checking it personally and found full text listings for the
Chronicle in Openly JAKE (I only report on these things, I do not name
them). EBSCO carries the full text from 1990 to present while Openly JAKE
lists the other databanks as carrying this title from 1995 online fulltext.

By the way, for those wanting to be less Openly about it, there is an
alternative, actually the original, JAKE site:
JAKE: Jointly Administered Knowledge Environment
<http://jake.med.yale.edu/>
Having gotten that off of my chest, I would like to point out that the
Chronicle of Higher Education also provides a considerable amount of
valuable information on its website that the public can access without a
subscription. Now, getting down to my purpose, one of the very valuable
resources on this website for this important college news resource is an
excellent coverage of TITLE IX that will provide those looking for
background on Title IX as well as the researcher on this subject a
valuable source of material on this currently hot subject, in fact the
page covers gender equity in sports that is actually broader in scope
than just Title IX.

Here are some of the things you will find using this resource:
Information about specific colleges regarding Title IX accessed via a drop
down menu
Search by N.C.A.A. Division
Search by State
Search by Conference
The information provided for each college is tabular and statistical for
the most part with some text commentary. The statisical data provided is
substantial.

LITERACY FROM HOME LANGUAGE TO THE STANDARD
Why don't people vote? 50% of all Americans over 65 years old
are functionally illiterate. 60% of the Urban School Children do
not graduate High School of the 40% that do they are only
reading at 4th grade level. Find out more about literacy and
approaches to improving it. Learn how to successfully bridge
from the Dialect Speakers' home language to the Standard.

=============================
I hope those following or researching about gender equity in sports will
use this group of resources and that they will also find them quite
useful. By the way, for any who did not catch the significance of JAKE as
a resource, this is a tool that enables one to find out which databases
cover a periodical as an index, as an abstracting service and as a full
text resource. JAKE's coverage of subject fields is very broad, as broad
as what is carried by the databases whose periodical contents it indexes.
