ABSTRACT
Sex discrimination was added to EO 11246 several months after it was issued. For a number of years, there were few sex discrimination complaints until Professor Bernice Sandler and OFCC Office Director Vincent Macaluso changed the course of history. The chapter focuses on personal interviews and the relationship between the large complaint of sex discrimination against colleges and universities instigated by Sandler and how these actions paved the way for Title IX of the Education Amendments—the law that became a tool to ensure young women’s participation in athletic activities and, in the current era, as an enforcement mechanism to address sexual harassment.
