Fall, 2023

Introduction

In 1972, Title IX of the Educational Amendments, the Sex Equity in Education Act, and Government
Section Code 11135 became Federal Law. The adoption of Title IX

facilitated tremendous growth in women’s athletics participation during the 1970’s. By 1978 the
number of female high school student-athletes had grown from 300,000 to more than two million.
Similarly, women’s collegiate sports participation doubled from 33,000 participants in 1971 to more
than 64,000 in 1977. In the landmark 1992 Supreme Court decision Franklin vs Gwinnet, plaintiffs
were allowed to recover monetary damages and attorney fees in Title IX cases.

In January of 1994, California Community College Chancellor’s and Presidents received a memo from
the Chancellor’s Office concerning gender equity in intercollegiate athletics. The purpose of the
memorandum was to inform all community colleges of actions taken by the Office of Civil Rights to
ensure compliance with Title IX and to inform them of recent developments in the law relating to
gender equity. The

Chancellor’s Office recommended that colleges review their programs for compliance with applicable
law and take steps to correct any inequities.
