Title IX of Education Amendments of 1972
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 protects students and employees from sex discrimination, gender-based harassment, sexual harassment (which includes sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, and stalking), gender-based bullying, and retaliation in educational programs and associated activities at institutions that receive Federal funding.
