Why does Title IX have such a hard time gaining acceptance? It seems like men complain that losing men’s sports is due to Title IX, when this is demonstrable untrue. My question, does Title IX need better p.r.? (OMG I’m a bad American)!!! Guess I oughta explain Title IX to non US Dopers! It is an anti-discrimination law, passed in 1972, guarenteeing women equal access to sports and th like at school whic accpet public funds (most of them). Though it is left to interpretation how it’s to be implemented.
ESPN had a great special on Title IX and how it affected women’s sports a several days ago. Their website still has some info about it. Interesting reading material here. Title IX is as much about academics as it is athletics, also.
