The U.S. Department of Education is continuing to emphasize oversight and enforcement of its sexual and gender-based harassment protections. But with Fox Rothschild’s team of Title IX attorneys, your private school or institution of higher education can be ready.

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 applies to all colleges, universities, private K-12 schools or other educational organizations that receive federal financial assistance. It dictates that any such program or activity operate free of discrimination based on sex, including sexual orientation and gender identity. Recruitment, admissions, financial assistance, employment and athletics are all covered.

Across Pennsylvania and the country, Fox Rothschild helps clients stay abreast of the latest developments regarding Title IX regulations. More than 2,000 pages of new restrictions went into effect in 2020 alone, requiring, among other things, educational institutions to post on their websites contact information of their Title IX Coordinator(s), a nondiscrimination policy and the training materials used by their Title IX personnel.

The federal government takes Title IX seriously. So should you.
