Remember<br />
• The courts are not the only avenue for addressing sex<br />
discrimination in athletics, although they have been<br />
instrumental in opening up opportunities for many<br />
young women. Other options include:<br />
– working through an institution’s internal processes<br />
– filing complaints with federal/state administrative<br />
agencies, or<br />
– using media and public education strategies.<br />
– At the high school level in particular, school systems are<br />
often willing to correct inequalities through settlement<br />
agreements without the need for a lawsuit.<br />
• Individuals/organizations considering legal action<br />
should consult with their own counsel before deciding on<br />
a course of action. <strong>Breaking</strong> <strong>Down</strong> <strong>Barriers</strong> is intended to<br />
provide information on legal developments related to<br />
Title IX. It should not be construed as legal advice or a<br />
legal opinion on specific facts.<br />
