Title IX at Washburn
2022 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the passage of Title IX, the federal civil rights law that prohibits sex-based discrimination in education programs or activities receiving federal funding. Title IX, in partnership with other equity laws, helped to break down barriers to education and athletic opportunities for women and girls.
In commemoration of Title IX, Washburn is seeking stories from alumni, faculty, staff, and students about their experiences related to women’s athletics, education, and Title IX at Washburn. Please consider sharing your photos, mementos, and memories.
