Title IX - Education Amendments of 1972
“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”
No where does it same WOMEN…please read it again…like on 60 Minutes episode mentioned “why is this only being used in sports, not in academics.”
Title IX has been interpreted to say if 50 percent of the student body is women, than 50 percent of the sport opportunities and scholarships should be for women.
Is this used in giving academic scholarships and are we requiring equal representation in academic classes???
When will this cutting of men’s sports - especially track and field stop!!
