Title IX prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs or activities that receive federal financial assistance. While Title IX does not specifically mention sexual harassment, courts and ED have determined that the response of a recipient educational institution to incidents of sexual harassment can constitute discrimination based on sex. The new Title IX regulations establish requirements that schools must follow in responding to sexual harassment allegations, marking a major change from the expectations announced in previous guidance documents, as well as departing in many ways from the provisions in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) that invited public comment on the rules. The new regulations take effect on August 14, 2020, and apply to schools that receive federal financial assistance, including postsecondary institutions and elementary and secondary schools. For many K--12 schools, the entity ultimately responsible for ensuring compliance is the recipient of financial assistance-often the local educational agency to which the school belongs. This Sidebar examines some of the major changes established by the Title IX regulations, highlighting many of the most significant new requirements and noting where those obligations depart from prior ED guidance and the NPRM. Given the rather complex background surrounding Title IX, including nonbinding ED guidance documents, case law, and the NPRM, this Sidebar builds on previous CRS reports and Sidebars that discuss those materials.
