Nine was named in recognition of Title IX, a section of the Education Amendments of 1972 which stated:

No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.

The changes that came from these 37 words opened doors for women to excel in academics, athletics, and beyond, as well as helped to define a federally funded institution’s responsibility to end sexual harassment and violence.”
