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 forbids sex discrimination in all university services and programs. Although often thought of only in terms of athletic programs, Title IX also covers sexual harassment, sexual assault as a form of sex discrimination.

SEX DISCRIMINATION IS...

Unequal or disadvantageous treatment of an individual or group of individuals based on gender. Sexual harassment and sexual assault are forms of gender discrimination.
