Title IX Symposium: Its Legacy and Future at Georgetown & Beyond
Last year, the nation marked the 50th anniversary of the Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, the most comprehensive law passed by Congress to achieve full gender equity. Many educators perceived this law as revolutionizing access to education for women across the American educational landscape. The Title IX Symposium, held March 15-16 from 2 to 5 p.m. each afternoon in Copley Lounge, will explore whether Title IX has fulfilled its promise. What gaps in gender equity in education still persist, and where do we go from here at Georgetown to achieve the ideals of this landmark legislation?
