to ensure that women and girls receive equal opportunities
in athletics at both the secondary school and college levels.
The task force's advocacy centers on Title IX of the Education
Amendments of 1972 and other laws mandating gender equity
in athletics. Its goals include advocating for strong enforcement
of Title IX; making widely available gender equity in athletics
information that colleges are required to disclose and pushing
for such data collection/ disclosure by secondary schools;
and generally promoting athletic opportunities for women and
girls. This task force is chaired by the National
Women's Law Center.
