Title IX

Title IX of the Education Amendments was passed by the U.S. Congress on June 23, 1972, and signed into law on July 1, 1972. It was recently updated effective August 14, 2020. To view those changes, you may access the Code of Federal Regulations. Title IX is a federal civil rights law that prohibits sex discrimination in education programs and activities.
