Discussions of inequality in higher education naturally bring to mind groups that have historically been underrepresented or discriminated against in terms of access to and equity in education. But men aren't often the topic of these discussions. Congressional testimony surrounding the passage of Title IX in 1972 indicates that lawmakers were particularly concerned about the inequitable treatment of women (not men) in higher education, and indeed early enforcement efforts under Title IX tended to focus on unequal access to educational experiences for women, including most notably in athletics programs.
