Answer: (A)

Remedies in Title IX are actions designed to restore or protect a student’s access to education after sex discrimination. They focus on addressing the effects of the discrimination and ensuring the student can participate in school on an equal basis, as well as reducing the chance that the discrimination will happen again. Examples include academic accommodations, changes in the learning environment, supportive measures like counseling or tutoring, adjusting class schedules or course availability, and other steps that remove barriers to education. Disciplinary penalties imposed on the respondent, while part of Title IX processes, are separate accountability measures, not remedies themselves. Altering school funding or public statements about policy are not remedies aimed at restoring a specific student’s access.
