50 Years of Title IX: Equal Opportunities in Education and Sports

This resolution commemorates the 50th anniversary of Title IX, which prohibits sex-based discrimination in federally funded institutions. It highlights progress in educational and athletic opportunities for all, regardless of sex, but also points out persistent inequalities and the need for further action to ensure safe and equal learning environments.
Key points
Affirms that Title IX protects against sex-based discrimination, including pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, and harassment.
Notes significant increases in women's participation in education and sports since 1972, but highlights ongoing challenges such as lower graduation rates for pregnant students and disparities in leadership positions.
Urges the Department of Education and the Department of Justice to ensure safe learning environments by preventing and responding to sex-based discrimination and harassment.
