It covers both educational and athletic activities, and you are more likely to hear about it when speaking of athletics. According to the U.S. Department of Education, Title IX impacts “approximately 17,600 local school districts, over 5,000 postsecondary institutions and charter schools, for-profit schools, libraries and museums.”

Stella: Let’s look for and celebrate women leaders at CSU

Michael Stella, Staff Reporter • December 5, 2022
In 2019, Joyce McConnell was named the first woman president in Colorado State University's more than 150-year history. Then, over last summer and after a mutual agreement with the CSU System Board of Governors, her tenure of only three years came to an end.
