Title IX turned 35 years old on June 23rd. Happy Birthday! Title IX is a short statute which bans sex discrimination in any federally-funded education program. It applies to any part of federally-funded education, but has been most successfully and widely been put to use in the field of athletics: for example, since 1972, the number of female high school athletes has increased from about 290,000 to 2.9 million. Much of that increase can be directly attributed to the impact and influence of Title IX.
