About
Title IX
Title IX: An Overview of the Law
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 prohibits discrimination
based on sex in education programs and activities that receive
federal financial assistance. Title IX states that:
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 program or activity receiving
federal financial assistance.
The U.S. Department of Education gives grants of financial assistance
to schools and colleges. The Title IX regulation describes the
conduct that violates Title IX. Examples of the types of discrimination
that are covered under Title IX include sexual harassment, the
failure to provide equal opportunity in athletics, and discrimination
based on pregnancy. The Title IX regulation is enforced by the
Office of Civil Rights (OCR) and is in the code of federal regulations
at 34
CFR Part 106.
Title IX prohibits retaliation for filing an OCR complaint or
for advocating for a right protected by Title IX. Title IX also
prohibits employment discrimination, but employment complaints
filed with OCR are generally referred to the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission.
Title IX: Programs and Activities
Programs and activities at universities and colleges that receive
federal funds must operate in a nondiscriminatory manner. These
programs and activities may include, but are not limited to:
- admissions
- recruitment
- financial
aid
- academic
programs
- employment
- physical
education
- athletics
- counseling
and guidance
- discipline

assignment
- grading
- vocational

- housing
- student
treatment and services
Title IX: Athletics
The regulation (34 CFR Part 106) implementing Title IX contains
specific provisions relating to athletic opportunities. See Requirements
Under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 for more information
about the athletic requirements contained in the Title IX regulation.
