Discuss the protections provided to students under Title IX.

Title IX is a federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any educational program or activity that receives federal funding. This includes protections for students in schools and colleges.

Under Title IX, students are protected from discrimination in areas such as admissions, financial aid, athletics, and other educational programs. It also prohibits sexual harassment and sexual violence, and requires schools to take steps to prevent and address such incidents.

In addition, Title IX requires schools to have a designated Title IX coordinator who is responsible for overseeing the school's compliance with the law and handling complaints of sex discrimination. Schools are also required to have a grievance procedure for addressing complaints of sex discrimination, and they must provide support services for students who have experienced sexual harassment or violence.

Overall, Title IX provides important protections for students by ensuring that they have equal access to educational opportunities and are protected from sex-based discrimination and harassment.
