Abstract

The effectiveness of gender equality in higher education in the United States is closely related to various legislation promoting gender equality in higher education. Through the investigation and review of relevant legislation, we find that the legislation on gender equality in higher education in the United States has experienced three stages,the initial stage, the development stage and the questioning stage, and the following characteristics have emerged in the process of legislative evolution: the focus of legislation has evolved with time, the content of legislation has been gradually refined, and legislation has balanced equity and efficiency. This has inspired developing countries to speed up the construction of a legal system for higher education, raise public awareness of gender equality, strengthen the implementation of the Higher Education Law and promote gender equality in access to higher education. This paper will have theoretical enlightenment and practical significance for the research of higher education in developing countries.
