| On June 23,
1972, the President signed Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, 20 U.S.C. §1681 et
seq., into law. Title IX is a comprehensive federal law that prohibits discrimination
on the basis of sex in any federally funded education program or activity. The principal
objective of Title IX is to avoid the use of federal money to support sex
discrimination in education programs and to provide individual citizens effective protection against those
practices. Title IX applies, with a few specific exceptions, to all aspects of federally
funded education programs or activities. In addition to traditional educational
institutions such as colleges, universities, and elementary and secondary schools, Title
IX also applies to any education or training program operated by a recipient of federal
financial assistance. The Department of Education has issued regulations on the requirements of Title IX, 34 C.F.R. §
106.1et
seq. The Title IX common rule published on August 30, 2000 covers education program providers/recipients that are funded by other federal agencies. |
