Title IX of the 1972 Education Amendments Act reads 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
Title IX applies to any program or activity of any education institute, but this paper will focus on Title IXs role in intercollegiate athletics. Rosenberg, Klarman, and Fishers most elementary view that the court alone cannot produce social change applies to Title IX litigation, but the extent to which litigation played a role in furthering the impact of Title IX differs. Unlike gay rights, in which litigation was their only option, litigation in Title IX played an important role, but its impact was not as great.
