Specifically, Title IX protects victims of on-campus gender discrimination, sexual harassment, and sexual assault. Title IX claims can also arise if the discrimination, harassment or assault occurred off campus if there is a sufficient connection to an educational program or activity. These protections apply to all students and employees whether they are male, female, or gender-nonconforming.
Under Title IX, schools have a legal duty to proactively prevent illegal gender-based conduct. Schools must also implement reporting procedures for gender-based harassment, discrimination, and violence and provide accommodations to victims of discrimination. Title IX also prohibits schools from retaliating against a student for exercising their rights protected by Title IX.
