The Title IX transition period for athletics and physical education ends on July 21, 1978. Three documents are included here to assist institutions in their efforts to implement Title IX: (1) a summary of the regulation as it affects athletics; (2) a news release and an option issued by the general counsel of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, reaffirming the applicability of Title IX to revenue-producing intercollegiate athletics, and a summary of congressional attempts to exempt revenue-producing sports; and (3) a memorandum to the secretary of HEW from the Secretary's Advisory Committee on the Rights and Responsibilities of Women on the importance of equal athletic opportunity for women.
