On June 23, 1975, President Richard Nixon signed the law that would become commonly known as Title IX. The law prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any federally funded education program or activity.

Joining us to discuss Title IX are Chief Title IX Officer at Xavier University’s Title IX Office, Kate Lawson, and President ofThomas More College, David Armstrong
