Ashley Beach is a graduate student at Ohio University. Beach was a journalist at multiple publications – including The Columbus Dispatch and Southeast Ohio Magazine.
She was also the sports editor at The Post in 2022 and 2023. It was during this time that she published a feature story on the 50th anniversary of Title IX.
I interviewed Beach in November of 2024. She talked about her research on Title IX and the progress O.U. has made in women’s athletics.
Note: This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
