7 Subtitle E—Link-up for Learning

8 SEC. 241. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS.

9 The Congress makes the following findings:

10 (1) Growing numbers of children live in an en11 vironment of social and economic conditions that

12 greatly increase their risk of academic failure when

13 they become students.

14 (2) More than 20 percent of the Nation’s chil15 dren live in poverty while at the same time the Na16 tion’s infrastructure of social support for children of

17 poor families has greatly eroded; for example, 40

18 percent of eligible children do not receive free or re19 duced price lunches or benefit from food stamps, 25

20 percent are not covered by health insurance, and

21 only 20 percent are accommodated in public hous22 ing.

23 (3) Many at-risk students suffer the effects of

24 inadequate nutrition and health care, overcrowded

25 and unsafe living conditions and homelessness, fam-
32

•HR 1793 IH

1 ily and gang violence, substance abuse, sexual abuse,

2 and child abuse, involuntary migration, and limited

3 English proficiency that often create severe barriers

4 to learning the knowledge and skills needed to be5 come literate, independent, and productive citizens.

6 (4) Almost half of all children and youths live

7 in a single parent family for some period of their

8 lives, greatly reducing parental involvement in their

9 education.

10 (5) High proportions of disadvantaged and

11 minority children are with never married mothers or

12 teenage mothers, greatly limiting the resources avail13 able for early childhood development and education.

14 (6) Large numbers of children and youths are

15 recent immigrants or children of recent immigrants

16 with limited English proficiency and significant

17 unmet educational needs.

18 (7) Services for at-risk students are frag19 mented, expensive, overregulated, often ineffective

20 and duplicative, and focused on narrow problems

21 and not the needs of the whole child and family.

22 (8) School personnel and other support service

23 providers often lack knowledge of and access to

24 available services for at-risk students and their fam25 ily in the community, are constrained by bureau-
33

•HR 1793 IH

1 cratic obstacles from providing the services most

2 needed, and have few resources or incentives to co3 ordinate services.

4 (9) Service providers for at-risk students such

5 as teachers, social workers, health care givers, juve6 nile justice workers and others are trained in sepa7 rate institutions, practice in separate agencies, and

8 pursue separate professional activities that provide

9 little support for coordination and integration of

10 services.

11 (10) Coordination and integration of services

12 for at-risk students emphasizing prevention and

13 early intervention offer a great opportunity to break

14 the cycle of poverty that leads to academic failure,

15 teenage parenthood, leaving school, low skill levels,

16 unemployment, and low income.

17 (11) Coordination of services is more cost effec18 tive for schools and support agencies because it re19 duces duplication, improves quality of services, and

20 substitutes prevention for expensive crisis interven21 tion.

12 SEC. 301. SHORT TITLE.

13 This title may be cited as the ‘‘Equity in Athletics

14 Disclosure Act’’.

15 SEC. 302. FINDINGS.

16 The Congress finds that—

17 (1) participation in athletic pursuits plays an

18 important role in teaching young Americans how to

19 work on teams, handle challenges and overcome

20 obstacles;

21 (2) participation in athletic pursuits plays an

22 important role in keeping the minds and bodies of

23 young Americans healthy and physically fit;

24 (3) there is increasing concern among citizens,

25 educators, and public officials regarding the athletic
51

•HR 1793 IH

1 opportunities for young men and women at institu2 tions of higher education;

3 (4) a recent study by the National Collegiate

4 Athletic Association found that in Division I–A insti5 tutions, only 20 percent of the average athletic de6 partment operations budget of $1,310,000 is spent

7 on women’s athletics; 15 percent of the average re8 cruiting budget of $318,402 is spent on recruiting

9 female athletes; the average scholarship expenses for

10 men is $1,300,000 and $505,246 for women; and an

11 average of 143 grants are awarded to male athletes

12 and 59 to women athletes;

13 (5) female college athletes receive less than 18

14 percent of the athletics recruiting dollar and less

15 than 24 percent of the athletics operating dollar;

16 (6) male college athletes receive approximately

17 $179,000,000 more per year in athletic scholarship

18 grants than female college athletes;

19 (7) prospective students and prospective stu20 dent athletes should be aware of the commitments of

21 an institution to providing equitable athletic oppor22 tunities for its men and women students; and

23 (8) knowledge of an institution’s expenditures

24 for women’s and men’s athletic programs would help

25 prospective students and prospective student athletes
52

•HR 1793 IH

1 make informed judgments about the commitments of

2 a given institution of higher education to providing

3 equitable athletic benefits to its men and women
