Review Quotes:
This provocative view of Title IX by Busch and Thro provides a valuable examination of the statute's origin and scope. From the law's quest for gender equity in intercollegiate athletics through its development as the primary deterrent to sexual discrimination at the nation's colleges and universities, the book indeed makes an important and timely contribution to the higher education community.

A thoroughly researched and well-written volume, Title IX: The Transformation of Sex Discrimination in Education is a must read for all interested in Title IX, whether students, faculty members, compliance officers, and/or attorneys. This is the most current book on Title IX; written in jargon-free language, it provides a comprehensive, cutting-edge analysis of the law's applications from its earliest days through today's controversies on from its earliest use as a mandate for equal opportunity in sports to its application to sexual harassment to contemporary disputes about sexual assault and campus disciplinary proceedings.
