Title IX
“No person in the US shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, or denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.”
Title IX is part of the Higher Education Amendments of 1972, which was signed by Richard Nixon. Title IX does not allow discrimination between sexes in any federally funded educational program. Title IX was introduced by Birch Bayh, a senator form Indiana. Birch Bayh said "Title IX is rather simple: don't discriminate on the basis of sex." Nowadays, Title IX is enforced by the Office of Civil Rights, also known as the OCR. According to their website, "OCR evaluates, investigates, and resolves complaints alleging sex discrimination. OCR also conducts proactive investigations, called compliance reviews, to examine potential systemic violations based on sources of information other than complaints."
