Title IX at 35 Project
Celebrating the Legacy of Women's Leadership & Achievement
|
In a collaborative project the Women & Leadership Archives and the Gannon Center for Women & Leadership of Loyola University Chicago have become Educational Partners with the multi-media project, License to Thrive: 35 Years of Title IX. The purpose of this partnership is to work together to celebrate, honor, and revitalize discussion around the thirty fifth anniversary of Title IX. Title IX is most often characterized as the law that equalized funding for women in sports in higher education. While not incorrect, the law actually provides that "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance." Signed into law by President Nixon in 1972, Title IX was intended to achieve sexual equity in all aspects of higher education. The License to Thrive Project clearly works to underscore the many accomplishments of the past thirty five years while also fostering civil and social dialogue on those impediments which still exist.

LEARNING & HISTORY RESOURCES:
The Women & Leadership Archives (WLA) is proud to provide a list of research collections that relate to the history of Title IX. Within these collections is a mixture of institutional and personal history, documents, photos, and oral histories that tell the stories of women's accomplishments in light of the passage of Title IX. Often, these records tell the inspiring story of overcoming social, economic, cultural, and institutional sexism.
