What is Title IX?

Title IX is a part of the Educational Amendments of 1972 which prohibits sex-based discrimination at schools in the United States. Specifically, the law states: “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, or be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any educational program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.“
