"While progress is being made across intercollegiate athletics, including with our championships, the journey is not over." "Title IX is turning 50 years old, and we are taking this opportunity to celebrate, motivate, encourage and support women and everyone engaged in improving equity for all," Wilson said. The report will be complete by early spring. Various materials and stories also will be archived on the site, along with the Title IX at 50 report that will detail progress made over the years and where additional work needs to be done. In addition to the creation of a special Title IX at 50 logo, a dedicated website is available at /titleix50, which includes a membership tool kit that provides ideas and suggestions on how schools and conferences can celebrate on their campuses and in their communities. The efforts will culminate at the 2023 Women's Final Four in Dallas, where Divisions I, II and III will hold their basketball championships.Īmy Wilson, managing director in the NCAA office of inclusion, briefly outlined national office plans during a Convention education session, "Title IX Approaches 50 Years: Striving for Gender Equity in Intercollegiate Athletics." Wilson discussed how Title IX has provided education and athletic opportunities for women since its inception and added that the national office assembled a Title IX at 50 working group that meets to develop celebratory plans and ways to educate and highlight the continued progress on equity. The Association will host programs, tributes and other activities through spring 2023, alongside member schools who also are recognizing the anniversary.
The celebration commemorates the anniversary of the landmark federal law signed in 1972 that prohibits gender discrimination in educational programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance. The NCAA began its Title IX at 50 celebration during the 2022 NCAA Convention in Indianapolis.
