Title IX of the Education Amendments was passed by the U.S. Congress on June, 1972, and signed into law on July 1, 1972. It is a federal civil rights law that prohibits sex discrimination in
education programs and activities such as:

• Admissions
• Housing and facilities
• Courses and other educational activities
• Career guidance and counseling activities
• Financial aid
• Health and insurance benefits
• Scholastic, intercollegiate, club, or intramural athletics

Military schools, religious schools, fraternities, and sororities are generally exempt from provisions of Title IX.

Each school must designate at least one employee to evaluate current policy practices to ensure an institution's compliance with Title IX, coordinate efforts to effectively and efficiently respond to complaints of sex discrimination, including complaints of sexual harassment, and ensure as much as possible that every UI employee and student has an equal education and employment opportunities.

The University of Iowa's Title IX Coordinator is Marcella David, Special Assistant to the President for Equal Opportunity and Diversity and Associate Provost.
