I am interested in applying for membership to the Commission. The Commission has open membership. Application forms will soon be available on-line. One way this barrier has been weakened happened in 1972 with the Title IX section of the Educational Amendments law. Title IX prohibits discrimination against women in federally funded education.
Women now have more participation opportunities and improved facilities in the sports arena.
Title IX has also increased women's eligibility to receive athletic scholarships, thus supplying opportunities for higher education. There is no proof to this accusation. Title IX's purpose is for gender equality, not discrimination against men's athletics. Title IX has not decreased the availability of men's sports. In fact, the athletic opportunities for both genders have increased on campuses around the country.
