Professor Mary Jo Kane, School of Kinesiology director and director of the Tucker Center, is extensively quoted in a recent series of articles on Title IX by the Hartford Courant's John Altavilla. Title IX is the amendment to the Higher Education Act passed on June 23, 1972, stating "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance." This year is the 35th Anniversary of Title IX. The lead article in the series can be found here. The article featuring Professor Kane can be found here.
