On June 23, Title IX — a civil rights law forbidding discrimination based on sex — turns 50.  And with the half-century that has ensued since the passing of the statute, there is certainly progress to celebrate. In these four articles, The Michigan Daily Sports Writers evaluate how Title IX has progressed and evolved, while still leaving more work to be done.

➡️ “50 years of Title IX: progress and potential” by Lindsay Budin

In 1972, at the time of the legislation’s passing, Michigan offered 13 varsity sports — all of which were men’s teams. It was clear: many people didn’t believe women belonged in sports.
 
Today, the increase of women’s participation in sports at the collegiate level is a sign of progress, but with 50 years of Title IX in effect, changes beyond participation numbers have hardly been made.

➡️ “Task Force on Women in Sports shows that Title IX isn’t enough in Michigan” by Elizabeth Cushnir

In 2019, Governor Gretchen Whitmer created the Task Force on Women in Sports in the leadup to the 50th anniversary of Title IX with the goal of creating “opportunities in Michigan for girls and women in sports” and increasing the presence of women in leadership positions in the larger economy.
 
➡️ “Absence of female athletic directors in the NCAA stands out” by Taylor Daniels
 
While there are roughly the same number of men’s and women’s sports programs at each school — for example 13 men’s and 14 women’s teams at Michigan — there are significantly fewer female athletic directors in that front office position across the NCAA.
 
That problem is not new — it has a long history.
 
➡️ “US Women’s National Team shows how soccer can surpass Title IX” by Remi Williamson
 
On the 50th anniversary of Title IX, discrimination on the basis of sex and gender remains illegal by law. However, the United States has made little effort to prevent de facto discrimination in sports from institutions receiving federal funding when it comes to fan attendance and viewership.
 
And those issues exist throughout each and every level of women’s sports.
