Title IX is a federal law enacted in 1972 that prohibits sex-based discrimination in any educational program or activity receiving federal funding. Its primary focus is to ensure equal opportunities for all individuals, regardless of gender, in areas such as admissions, athletics, and employment within educational institutions. By addressing issues like sexual harassment and assault, Title IX aims to create a safe and equitable environment for students and employees.
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 was primarily authored by Representative Edith Green, a Democratic Congresswoman from Oregon. She played a crucial role in shaping the legislation, which aimed to eliminate gender discrimination in educational programs and activities receiving federal funding. The law has since become a landmark piece of legislation in promoting gender equity in education and athletics.
Title IX was intended a law; but in some cases the gender equity has not been met. Thousands of schools have not satisfied this law entirely. The act calls for equality of federal and scholarships between genders in all government funded schools. This was a great advantage for women's rights but a large failure in overseeing the law, weak enforcement, and the resulting of elimination of many sports in schools.
Title IX was largely responsible for the growth of women's sports in the high school and college levels
