Title IX at 40

Billie Jean King

“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.” This is Title IX passed in 1972.  Most people think of Title IX as just about sports for women but nowhere does the word sports or athletics appear in the act.  As you can see, it is so very much more.   How does Title IX look 40 years later?

The Spring/Summer edition of Outlook has many articles that answer that question.  I was very surprised at how much I learned from reading the magazine and I think you, too, will be surprised when you read the articles.
