"Celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Title IX!" Dear Colleague Letter, ca. June 23, 1997
By the 25th anniversary of Title IX, its effects were evident. Medical and professional schools produced more female graduates, and a new generation of women participated and excelled in college sports. Women’s advanced athleticism led to the founding of female professional sports leagues and greater achievements for the U.S. in the Olympics.

Title IX…has improved graduation rates among girls and young women at the secondary and post-secondary level, opened the doors of our colleges, graduate and professional schools, increased opportunities for women in non-traditional fields of study… and helped to fight sexual harassment in our schools.
