Office for Civil Rights, US Department of Education

The information herein, gathered from a variety of education data sources, shows that--despite the enormous progress made in ensuring equal educational opportunities since the passage of Title IX in 1972--much work remains if we are to achieve full gender equity among our nation's students.
