Understanding Title IX in Collegiate Sports: Ensuring Gender Equity and Anti-Discrimination

Title IX, part of the Education Amendments of 1972, mandates that all colleges and universities receiving federal aid must not discriminate based on sex in their athletic programs. Institutions must demonstrate compliance through one of three standards known as the Three-Prong Test, which includes providing athletic opportunities proportionate to enrollment, expanding opportunities for underrepresented sexes, or fully accommodating the interests and abilities of underrepresented sexes. It guarantees equal treatment in travel allowances, facilities, coaching assignments, and equipment.
