Title IX of the Education Amendment’s Act of 1972 is a federal law that states, on the basis of sex, that no one shall be excluded, nor discriminated against, nor be denied the benefits of any educational program or activity that receives federal funding. In 1976, the NCAA attempted to have Title IX revoked by challenging its legality, but the case was thrown out. Under Title IX, schools are required to respond to and handle all sexual harassment reports fairly, support victims of alleged sexual assault, and the failure to do so can result in loss of federal funding. In the case of schools that do not receive funding, they are not required to comply with Title IX. While the concrete set of rules has been in place for over 40 years, there is a lack of compliance in all areas. Many schools seek out loopholes to make it seem like they are adherent to Title IX, when in fact, they are not. Title IX is working to fix sex-based discrimination, but there is still much work to be done. In this paper, we seek to understand the “expectation vs. reality” that exists on this amendment.
