By Nick Sestanovich

Gender equity remains a commonly discussed issue in today’s society. Attendees of tonight’s free program at Solano Community College’s Vallejo campus will learn about the subject as it applies to K-12 and postsecondary education and how to address gender bias when it occurs.The forum, hosted by the Benicia-Vallejo branch of the American Association of University Women, will specifically discuss Title IX, a section of the United Stated Education Amendments of 1972, which states that people should not be excluded based on sex from participating in or receiving benefits from programs or activities that receive federal financial assistance.

“Our mission is to make sure we support the equity and education for all women and girls,” AAUW member Suzanne Antone said.
