Sex discrimination in US educational institutions is prohibited
 

In the United States, Title IX of the Educational Amendments Act of 1972 is a federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in educational institutions. In sports, this means that male and female athletic programs need to provide equitable funding, scholarship, and admissions opportunities. This important step has had far-reaching effects in terms of youth and amateur sports development among girls. But not quite enough of an effect, it would seem.
