This summer, Arizona will honor the 50th anniversary of Title IX, the law that required equal educational opportunities for female students. One of its many provisions required schools that offered sports for men and boys to offer the same to women and girls, leading to the explosion in female athletic participation across the country over the past five decades.
At the University of Arizona, several more women will get that opportunity soon.
In the edition of Wildcat Wednesday published on May 18, Arizona athletic director Dave Heeke announced that Arizona will add one more women’s sports program in the near future.
