WHAT is Title IX

Title IX is a federal law that prohibits sex-based discrimination in education programs.  

“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.”  -Title IX 的 教育 Amendments of 1972

我们所做的
