Signed into law by President Richard Nixon on June

Signed into law by President Richard Nixon on June 23, 1972, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 states: “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.” With the simple addition of the word “activity,” the bill, spearheaded by Rep. Patsy Mink of Hawaii, required every school receiving federal funding to provide equal opportunities for both men and women in sports as well as in the classroom. High schools and universities were given three years to comply with the legislation, and elementary schools were given one.
