Question 25 • World History and Geography

What positive effect did Title IX have on women’s participation in athletic programs in the United States?

Answer

It expanded women’s athletic programs and thus participation at the high school and college level.

It expanded the outreach at the college level to recruit the best female players for their programs.

It required there be an equal number of men and women in athletic programs at the college level.

It required that women have free access to athletic programs at the high school and college level.

Explanation

Title IX prohibits sex discrimination in education programs that receive federal funding. As schools worked to provide more equal athletic opportunities, women’s sports programs grew, increasing participation at both high schools and colleges. It did not require an exactly equal number of male and female athletes or free access to sports.
