What is Title IX?
On August 14, 2020, new regulations surrounding Law Title IX, 20 § U.S.C. 1681 were implemented after the law underwent revisions that affected educational institutions. Specifically, Title IX:
- Prohibits discrimination “on the basis of sex”;
- Education programs and federally funded schools (whether or not sponsored by the educational institution);
- Protects students, employees, applicants, & all other persons
