Title IX applies to which programs?

• A. Intercollegiate athletic programs
• B. Law schools
• C. Federally funded educational programs
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

Title IX prohibits discrimination based on sex in any education program or activity that receives federal financial assistance. That broad scope means intercollegiate athletic programs must offer equal opportunities and treatment. It also extends to law schools within institutions that receive federal funds or participate in federal student aid programs. And it covers any federally funded educational program itself. Since each of these examples involves an education program receiving federal funds, Title IX applies to all of them. So, all of the above are covered by Title IX. If a program doesn’t receive federal funds, Title IX wouldn’t automatically apply unless its parent institution is federally funded.
