Slatton was a lifelong champion for equality in sports.
After graduating from the University of North Carolina in 1964 with a master’s in physical education, Slatton began her decades-long tenure at the University of Iowa as a faculty member and a tennis and badminton coach in the women’s physical education department. Slatton earned a PhD in physical education at Iowa in 1970, and she was also a faculty representative to the Big Ten and the NCAA for 21 years.
Slatton, along with UI women’s athletic director Christine Grant (70BA, 74PhD) and fellow professor Peggy Burke, was a national leader in the push for equal opportunities for women in sports, and her efforts helped bring about the revolutionary Title IX ruling. “Leadership for Title IX had its locus in Iowa,” Lark Birdsong, Iowa’s first women’s basketball coach, wrote in January after Grant’s death, adding that “these brave women did the impossible against insurmountable odds.”
Slatton’s leadership included serving as president of the National Association for Girls and Women in Sports and as acting executive director of the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women. She also participated on various NCAA and Olympic committees. In 1987, she received a National Honor Award from the National Association of Girls and Women in Sport for her contributions to the field.
Slatton died on Sept. 8 in Iowa City. She was 84.
