What is Title IX
Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 is a federal law that 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 education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.
This means you have a right to be free from:
- Unequal treatment in educational programs or employment
- Sexual Harassment, such as unwelcome sexual advances, stalking or harassment on social media,
- Sexual violence, such as sexual assault, dating violence or domestic violence
