Title IX protects not only students, but also faculty and staff members of qualifying educational institutions, whether they be enrolled in or employed by elementary or secondary schools, colleges or universities, private schools, or training programs.

Who Does Title IX apply to?

Title IX applies to all educational institutions, both public and private, that receive federal funds. Almost all private colleges and universities must abide by Title IX regulations because they receive federal funding through federal financial aid programs used by their students.

What does Title IX not apply to?

Title IX does not apply to female students only.

All female, male, and gender non-conforming individuals are protected from any sex-based discrimination, harassment or violence.
