Department of Justice Overview of Title IX Education Amendments of 1972 - On June 23, 1972, the President signed Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, 20 U.S.C. §1681 et seq., into law. Title IX is a comprehensive federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any federally funded education program or activity. The principal objective of Title IX is to avoid the use of federal money to support sex discrimination in education programs and to provide individual citizens effective protection against those practices.

Department of Education Office for Civil Rights - The Office for Civil Rights enforces Title IX to ensure that students have equal access to educational opportunity and can go to school without fear of sex discrimination.
