Title IX
“No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance…”
(Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, Section 1681)
These 37 words comprise Title IX, the statute that first opened the doors of opportunity for women in sports. Making no mention of athletics, quickly after its passage, the broad language of Title IX quickly permeated all aspects of education, including sports. Forty-five years later, we are still working to advance gender equity in sports at all levels, and there is much work to be done. This is Title IX 2.0.
