Under Title IX, schools may provide equal facilities and treat players in an equal manner.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only for male athletes
• D. Only for female athletes

Answer: (A)

Under Title IX, schools must ensure that athletes of all genders have opportunities and benefits that are substantially equal. This includes providing facilities that are comparable and treating players fairly in access to programs, coaching, equipment, scheduling, and other supports. The standard is substantial equality rather than exact sameness, so the facilities and treatment should be comparable in quality and opportunity. When schools provide equal facilities and treat players in an equal manner, they are complying with Title IX’s goal of non-discrimination in athletics.
