Title IX at 40 Needs More Work

Title IX at 40 Needs More Work
Dr. Angela Hattery, Associate Director WGST

"While gender equity is at the core of Title IX, the law has no requirement to address other forms of inequality such as race, class or sexuality. Sport sociologists often remark that sports are a mirror into the larger society; Title IX is no exception. Just as white women have been the major beneficiaries of affirmative action policies, white women athletes have been the primary beneficiaries of Title IX."
