Under Title IX, accommodations must be made for which group?

• A. Underrepresented sex
• B. Female athletes
• C. Male athletes
• D. Staff

Answer: (A)

Equity in athletic opportunities under Title IX means schools adjust programs to ensure the gender balance of athletes reflects the gender balance of enrolled students. When one sex is underrepresented, accommodations are made to increase opportunities for that group—expanding programs, scholarships, and resources to help achieve a more balanced representation. This focus on the underrepresented sex is what Title IX targets to promote fair access for all students in athletics. The other options don’t fit because staff aren’t the group governed by athletic equity requirements, and the question isn’t about giving special treatment to a specific gender regardless of representation.
