What is Title IX?
On June 23, 1972, the President signed Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, 20 U.S.C. §1681 et seq.,
into law. Title IX is a comprehensive federal law that prohibits
discrimination on the basis of sex in any federally funded education
program or activity. The principal objective of Title IX is to avoid the
use of federal money to support sex discrimination in education
programs and to provide individual citizens effective protection against
those practices. Title IX applies, with a few specific exceptions, to
all aspects of federally funded education programs or activities. In
addition to traditional educational institutions such as colleges,
universities, and elementary and secondary schools, Title IX also
applies to any education or training program operated by a recipient of
federal financial assistance. The Department of Education has issued
regulations on the requirements of Title IX, 34 C.F.R. § 106.1et seq.
The Title IX common rule published on August 30, 2000 covers education
program providers/recipients that are funded by other federal agencies.
