Understanding Title IX and Your Rights as a Student
Title IX is a federal law that prohibits discrimination based on sex in educational institutions that receive federal funding. It ensures that students, whether in high school or college, have equal access to education, free from harassment, assault, and gender-based violence. Under Title IX, schools are obligated to investigate complaints of campus sexual harassment, campus sexual assault, campus dating violence, and campus stalking to protect students’ rights.
