Abstract
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 has helped educational institutions throughout the country draw closer to gender equity in all facets of education. Much of Title IX is accepted and praised, but a hotly debated area having to do with interpreting and implementing the law, is intercollegiate athletics. The court’s interpretations require proportionality and progress in complying with Title IX and many schools — in fact, the vast majority — continue to struggle to meet the law’s demands. Brigham Young University is among them and in the past ten years, the school’s athletic department has undergone a number of changes in an attempt to comply.
