Title IX is the portion of the Education Amendments of 1972 that prohibits sex discrimination in educational institutions
that receive any federal funds. In brief, Title IX states: 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 educational program
or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.
Title IX applies to any educational program in an institution that receives any federal funds (from elementary school
through college.) Even private schools are covered if they received federal funding through financial aid programs. If institutions
are found to violate Title IX, their federal funding can be withdrawn. This information was cited from http://womensissues.about.com/cs/discriminatio2/a/titleix.htm
