1. Academic challenges are not exclusively tied to gender or sexual orientation. The gap between rich and poor students eclipses the gap between female and male success. 2. This growing chasm is due in large part to the greater investments of time and other resources well-off parents can make in their children. 3. Title IX is part of the reason that women have greater opportunities to participate in athletics. Title IX requires women to be provided equitable opportunity to participate in sports, for colleges to provide female athletes with scholarships proportional to their participation, and receive equivalent practice times, equipment, supplies, coaching, and so forth. 4. Some colleges and universities employ deceptive practices to make it appear that they are meeting the criteria of Title IX when they are not. 5. Participating in sports while in school is linked to higher salaries and better health for women and girls.
