Title IX became part of the school landscape but the enforcement of Title IX varied between administrations. With acceptance came wider use of the law: boys started using Title IX for protection in sexual harassment cases. Title IX continued to evoke differing reactions from men's and women's interest groups.

"...the Bush administration ... gave colleges new ways to show that they are complying with Title IX. By making it easier to use surveys to show that women's interests in athletics are being met, the department made it easier for colleges to comply with the law while offering more sports opportunities to men than to women."
