A central function of democratic institutions is to protect vulnerable
populations. The stability and success of these institutions depends, in part, on
popular support. Times of crisis can introduce novel dynamics that alter popular
support for protective institutions, particularly among those who do not benefit
from those protections. We explore this possibility in the context of Title IX's
gender equality requirements and infrastructure to address sexual harassment in
college sports. We conduct a large survey of college student-athletes to study
their attitudes on these issues in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and
concomitant financial challenges affecting college sports. We find that male
student-athletes and those with sexist attitudes exhibit alarmingly low levels of
support for ensuring the maintenance of equality and sexual harassment policy
under Title IX during the COVID-19 crisis and eventual recovery. The results
accentuate the vulnerability of certain populations during crises and the
importance of maintaining strong institutional policy support during such times.
