Title IX

As colleges celebrate the 50^th anniversary of Title IX during the 2022-23 academic year, it has become clear that the women who pioneered athletics on campuses in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s were more aware of the impact of the landmark federal legislation.

Fifty years ago today (June 23), Congress passed the landmark legislation known as Title IX to prohibit sex discrimination in education and balance the playing field for women’s athletics.
