What does Title IX prohibit?

• A. Discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs or activities receiving Federal financial assistance.
• B. Discrimination on the basis of race in private clubs.
• C. Discrimination only in sports programs.
• D. Discrimination by age in non-educational settings.

Answer: (A)

Title IX prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs or activities receiving Federal financial assistance. This means any school or college that gets federal funds must treat people equally regardless of sex in admissions, academics, athletics, and other school programs. It’s not about race in private clubs, not limited to sports, and not about age discrimination in non-educational settings. Therefore, this statement best captures what Title IX prohibits.
