Title IX Compliance
“No person…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.” -Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any educational program or activity.

Protection from sex discrimination also includes protection against retaliation for filing a complaint of sex discrimination or harassment.
