Title IX (pronounced "title nine") is a portion of the United States Education Amendments of 1972. It was co-authored and introduced by Senator Birch Bayh after the wave of feminist activism led by Bernice Sandler.[1] It was renamed the Patsy Mink Equal Opportunity in Education Act in 2002, after its late House co-author and sponsor.[2] Title IX is a federal law that makes it illegal to discriminate against a person on the basis of sex in any federally funded activity.[3] But even after Title IX was passed by Congress, women's athletic and academic opportunities in American schools still did not equal men's programs.[1]
