Title IX, the law best known for its role in gender equity in athletics and preventing sexual harassment on campuses, is turning 50.
Translation: The law is meant to ensure equity between men and women in education, and it's broad, covering most K-12 schools and colleges and universities, as well as vocational schools, libraries and museums. That means it applies to tens of millions of students, as well as educators. This doesn't necessarily mean that each sport will have exactly the same budget for equipment, facilities, travel or meals. For example, the women's tennis team might have more money put toward racquets than the men's tennis team. Athletic departments work under what is known as “equal in effect,” meaning a benefit for a men's or women's team in one area can be offset in another area as long as “the overall effects of any differences is negligible.
