In 1972, Congress enacted amendments to the Higher Education Act of 1965 which included a section called Title IX-Prohibition of Sex Discrimination. The pertinent text of Title IX is “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…”
In essence, Title IX is a federal civil rights law that prohibits discrimination based on a person’s sex. Sex discrimination includes any form of sex-based harassment, sexual misconduct, and sexual violence.
