Directory of EducationalEquity Organizations

OverviewIn 1999, the Women’s Educational Equity Act (WEEA) Resource Center at EDCinitiated a collaborative effort to increase public support for an inclusive vision ofequitable education. That is, an environment where children can achieve successregardless of gender, race, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, or language. As a firststep, the WEEA Center convened a meeting on June 25, 1999, of twenty-fourorganizations committed to education and equity. The purpose of the meeting was todevelop a strategy to share resources and coordinate technical assistance, and promote thebenefits of educational equity on the national and regional levels. These organizationsincluded federal technical assistance providers, state departments of education,academics, and the following interest areas: research, women, disability, math, science,and technology, vocational education, and higher education.

The idea for this directory was conceived at this meeting. It contains information forindividuals looking for equity resources, as well as providing an easy way to increasenetworking and collaboration across issues of gender, race, ethnicity, disability, andlanguage for organizations working on these issues. The directory is divided into state,federal, and regional sections and also includes contact information for the organizationsparticipating in the WEEA Center’s national equity group.

We will continue to update and expand this directory. If you have any corrections oradditions to the directory or need any additional information, please contact the WEEACenter at (800) 225-3088 or on our TTY line: (800) 354-6798.

State Equity Contacts

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, the federal law that prohibits sexdiscrimination in institutions that receive federal financial assistance, requires each stateto appoint a Title IX coordinator. The WEEA Center contacted state departments ofeducation in all 50 states and the District of Columbia to determine whether they hadappointed these contacts. Additionally, states may also have contacts for vocationalequity (Perkins Act). As you will see, some states have combined all of theseresponsibilities into one position that they designate as the “state equity contact.”Following is a listing of the contacts provided by the states. Please note that in thoseinstances where states do not appoint a Title IX coordinator, by default that responsibilitygoes to the chief state education officer (commissioner of education, superintendent ofschools, etc).

Call your state equity contact to find out:• what your state is doing to meet the requirements of Title IX• who your local coordinator is• how the state can help you promote gender equity in education• how to get help for any compliance or discrimination concerns

We will continue to update our lists. Please contact us with any new information.
