Opening Doors for Women
View through CrossRef
This chapter offers a final case study of landmark higher education policy development, analyzing the creation of Title IX. By departing from the redistributive policy design of the National Defense Education Act (NDEA) and the Higher Education Act (HEA) and employing a regulatory approach to expand access to higher educational institutions, lawmakers ventured beyond the precedent of promoting equal opportunity through financial aid. This analysis reveals an interesting shift in the intentionality of lawmakers when it came to expanding women’s access to college degrees. While the substantial benefits that women received from the NDEA and the HEA were byproducts of broader political forces that supported their inclusion as incidental and even accidental beneficiaries, Title IX was crafted with the explicit purpose of expanding women’s access to higher educational institutions.
