After an eight-month review of Tittle IX, two of the three female athletes on the commission don’t agree with the findings and today will issue a minority report.
Title IX helped more women get into sports, but 31 years later, opponents complain it’s pushing men out. Last June, U.S. Education Secretary Rod Paige appointed a 15-member Commission on Opportunity in Athletics to consider changes to Title IX. The report is due this week.
