Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 is a federal law which prohibits discrimination based on sex in any education program or activities that receive federal funding. Title IX created equity in academic, co-curricular, and extracurricular programs such as athletics. Sexual harassment and sexual violence are forms of sex-based discrimination prohibited by Title IX.
