According to Education, the final rule amends the regulations implementing Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX). 20 U.S.C. §§ 1681-1688. Education stated the final regulations specify how recipients of federal financial assistance covered by Title IX, including elementary and secondary schools as well as postsecondary institutions, must respond to allegations of sexual harassment consistent with Title IX's prohibition against sex discrimination. According to Education, these regulations are intended to effectuate Title IX's prohibition against sex discrimination by requiring recipients to address sexual harassment as a form of sex discrimination in education programs or activities.
