Title IX Overview
Title IX of the federal Education Amendments Of 1972 is the major federal statute prohibiting sex discrimination in education. Title IX is primarily known for its impact on gender equality in sports, but it also extends to other areas of education.
Title IX states: “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 educational program or activity receiving federal assistance.”
Under Title IX, schools are required to provide equal opportunities and treatment for both male and female students. This includes, but is not limited to, admissions, academic programs, counseling, financial aid, student housing, and athletics. Schools must ensure that there is no discrimination based on sex in any of these areas.
