Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (“Title IX”) prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in educational programs and activities. Title IX applies to public and private educational institutions that receive federal funds, including nearly all public K-12 schools in Idaho.

While traditionally known as the federal law that required women be given similar opportunity to participate in athletics as men, Title IX protects everyone’s right to be free from discrimination on the basis of sex in connection with the programs and activities of educational institutions receiving federal financial assistance. Discrimination on the basis of sex generally includes sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, stalking, and “bullying” on the basis of sex, gender, or gender stereotypes. Title IX also provides protections for pregnant and parenting students and employees.

Title IX:

• Protects potential and current students in connection with all academic, educational, extra-curricular, athletic, and other programs of the school, including school-sponsored or condoned activities (off-campus trips, sororities and fraternities affiliated with school, etc.).

• Protects potential and current employees in connection with all employment opportunities, including recruitment, consideration and selection and working conditions.
