Godmother of Title IX and ATIXA Emeritus Advisory Board Member,
Dr. Bernice "Bunny" Sandler Passes Away at 90
ATIXA
Leadership are
saddened to
share news
of the passing of Bernice Sandle
r last
weekend.
She was completely true to her principles. She was so enchanted with ATIXA's mission that she agreed to serve on the Board, and she generously donated volumes of her models, policies, and templates to help ATIXA build out our member library when we did not have the resources to pay for them.
Bunny was actually the mother of the Title IX Coordinator idea and role. It was her suggestion to add the role to the original regulations. We have an association and many of you hold your positions because of Bunny's brilliance and foresight.
Dr. Sandler is survived by her daughters, Deborah Sandler and Emily Sanders, and three grandchildren.The family plans to hold a memorial celebration in Washington, D.C., later this year.Contributions in memory of Dr. Sandler may be sent to the
National Women's Law Center

Ms. Magazine
featured a more detailed tribute authored collectively by Bunny's family and friends.

Title IX has been widely recognized as a crucial step toward gender equality in America. Yet, it remains unclear how the law actually functions, particularly how it has been used in response to gender disparities in higher education. This report provides the first systematic analysis of how Title IX has been mobilized at the postsecondary level.
Drawing on data acquired through seven Freedom of Information Act requests, we analyzed all resolved Title IX complaints filed with the Office for Civil Rights against four-year nonprofit colleges and universities from 1994 to 2014. The mobilization of Title IX has changed both in frequency and in kind during this period.
Filings started to rise after 2000 and exploded after 2009, while sexual harassment complaints nearly equaled academic and athletic filings for the first time in 2014. Private, more selective institutions as well as schools located in states with more women serving in state legislatures face a disproportionate number of complaints relative to enrollment, indicating the importance of institutional context to legal mobilization.
