Stats and Scorecards


• An estimated 80 percent of all schools and colleges are not fully in compliance with Title IX after 33 years.



• Over 50 percent of college students are female, but college female athletes receive 36 percent of all sports operating expenditures.



• A 2000 Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll found that 79 percent of respondents approved of Title IX.
