Title IX is a law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any federally funded education program or activity.
The law prohibits individuals from being subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance on the basis of sex. It also prohibits individuals from being excluded from such programs or activities, or from being denied the benefits of such programs or activities, on the basis of sex.
This law requires federally funded education institutions (e.g., school districts and colleges or universities) or programs (e.g., 4-H) to widely disseminate information on Title IX protections on the basis of sex, as well as the name, address, and telephone number (or other contact information) of the designated Title IX Coordinator.
