#5668S - Title IX - Set of 4

Title IX is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex from any educational program or activity that receives federal financial assistance. Title IX was passed as a clause in the Education Amendments of 1972. These stamps commemorate the 50th anniversary of the passage of Title IX. In the 50 years since its passage, Title IX has been applied broadly at elementary, secondary, and collegiate educational institutions. The law covers a wide range of programs and resources. Most visibly, Title IX has opened pathways to improve women’s athletics programs by supporting more competitive sports offerings, stronger physical education regimens, and equal facilities to play. Fifty years later, Title IX is still evolving. The law has affected generations of young people in the United States, and the work to provide protections for even more in the future continues.
