Which statement best describes Title IX's scope?

• A. It covers education programs or activities that receive federal funding.
• B. It covers only private sector workplaces.
• C. It covers only athletic facilities.
• D. It covers sports programs only.

Answer: (A)

Title IX applies to education programs or activities that receive federal funding. That means any part of a school or college that gets federal money must follow Title IX’s protections against sex discrimination, across academics, admissions, finances, housing, and athletics, among other areas. It isn’t limited to athletic facilities, nor to sports programs alone, and it isn’t confined to private sector workplaces (which fall under other civil rights laws). The broad, inclusive scope is what makes this description the best fit: education programs or activities that receive federal funding.
