Which statement is true about Title IX?

• A. It prohibits discrimination in education programs receiving federal funds.
• B. It applies only to athletics.
• C. It requires private schools with no federal funding to comply.
• D. It sets tuition standards for universities.

Answer: (A)

Title IX focuses on preventing sex-based discrimination in education programs and activities that receive federal funding. That means any school or program that gets federal dollars must treat students and employees without regard to sex, and must provide equal opportunities and protections across all areas, not just athletics. athletics is a prominent area addressed by Title IX, but it’s not the only one—the protection extends to admissions, housing, courses, hiring, harassment policies, and access to resources.

Because of this scope, the true statement is that Title IX prohibits discrimination in education programs receiving federal funds. The other options don’t fit: it isn’t limited to athletics alone; it doesn’t apply to private schools that have no federal funding; and it doesn’t set tuition standards.
