Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is a Federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in education.It reads:

             "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance."

Sex discrimination includes sexual harassment and sexual assault. While it is often thought of as a law that applies to athletics programs, Title IX is much broader than athletics and applies to all programs at Rutgers.
