Title IX

Title IX is a U.S. federal law enacted in 1972 that prohibits discrimination based on sex in educational programs and activities receiving federal funding. Its primary goal is to ensure equal opportunities for all genders in education, particularly in sports and academics. This means schools must provide fair treatment and resources regardless of a student’s gender. Title IX also addresses issues like sexual harassment and assault, requiring educational institutions to take action and create a safe environment for all students. Overall, it aims to promote gender equity within schools and colleges.
