==Legacy and recognition==
On the twenty-fifth anniversary of Title IX the [[National Women's Law Center]] lodged twenty-five complaints with the [[U.S. Department of Education]]'s [[Office for Civil Rights]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://reason.com/archives/2001/04/01/title-ixs-pyrrhic-victory/|title=Title IX's Pyrrhic Victory|author=Michael W.

After Title IX was implemented, there was controversy about the amount of athletic integration, especially among female education leaders who worried about girls being injured or bullied by rough boys in coeducational activities. While there were always some parents and administrators who did not like the idea of coed gym classes, that has in fact become the norm as a result of Title IX.<ref>(Game, Set, Match| author=Susan Ware| Date= April 2011)</ref>

There were several events praising the 40th anniversary of Title&nbsp;IX in June 2012. For example, the [[White House Council on Women and Girls]] hosted a panel to discuss the life-altering nature of sports. Panelists included [[Billie Jean King]], All‑American NCAA point guard [[Shoni Schimmel]] of the [[Louisville Cardinals women's basketball|University of Louisville]], and [[Aimee Mullins]], the first double-amputee sprinter to compete in NCAA track and field for [[Georgetown Hoyas track and field|Georgetown University]].<ref name="washingtonpostix">{{cite news |last=Groer |first=Annie |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/she-the-people/post/as-title-ix-turns-40-women-pay-homage/2012/06/23/gJQArEBjxV_blog.html |title=As Title&nbsp;IX turns 40, women pay homage |newspaper=The Washington Post |date=June 23, 2012 |access-date=June 24, 2012 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120624193728/http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/she-the-people/post/as-title-ix-turns-40-women-pay-homage/2012/06/23/gJQArEBjxV_blog.html |archive-date=June 24, 2012 }}</ref>
