This booklet helps institutions understand the restoration of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and changes resulting from the Civil Rights Restoration Act. Title IX prohibits sex discrimination in federally assisted education programs. A 1984 ruling held that Title IX covers only programs or activities funded with federal money. In March 1988, the Civil Rights Restoration Act ensured that Title IX applies to the entire institution regardless of where federal funds are used. Sections focus on the following: which institutions are covered; exemptions (admissions, military school, and religious); affirmative remedial action; discrimination; how to treat students (admissions, recruitment, housing/facilities, courses, educational activities, counseling, financial aid, employment aid, health and insurance benefits, abortion, marital or prenatal status, athletics, textbooks and curricular materials, sexual and peer harassment, and sexual assault, abuse, and rape); how to treat employees (recruitment, compensation, job classification, fringe benefits, marital/prenatal status, pregnancy, and pre-employment inquiries); a list of actions for institutions to take (i.e. assuring the government they are complying with Title IX requirements and adopting and publishing grievance procedures); and single-sex organizations/programs (groups whose membership practices are exempt, programs operated by educational institutions, and programs not operated by educational institutions but receiving significant assistance from recipients of federal funds). An appendix discusses Title IX and athletics. (SM)
