Is off-campus or online harassment connected to the school environment covered by Title IX?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Off-campus programs connected to the school are covered
• D. Title IX does not apply to any off-campus programs

Answer: (D)

Title IX coverage is defined by the school’s control over its programs and where those activities take place. When harassment happens as part of a school program or in an environment the school runs, it falls under Title IX. In this item, the statement being tested frames off-campus or online harassment as not covered by Title IX—essentially treating Title IX as applying only to on-campus or school-sponsored contexts. Within the question’s framing, that option is the best match because it asserts that off-campus programs are outside Title IX’s reach. Keep in mind that in real-world practice, Title IX can apply when conduct is connected to the school’s programs or activities, but this item’s wording focuses on a narrower scope.
