Answer 1

Title IX bans educational programs that receive federal funding from discriminating against individuals based on their sex.

Title IX was passed in 1972 as part of legislation pertaining to education. It followed on the heels of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. One of the initial applications of Title IX law was that equality of opportunity needed to be maintained in college athletics. Since then, it has been applied to deal with sexual harassment and sexual violence on college campuses as well.
