What is Title IX?
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 prohibits discrimination and harassment on the basis of sex, stating that:

“No person in the U.S. shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.” 20 U.S.C. Sec. 1681(a).

The U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights (OCR) enforces Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972
