Title IX applies to educational institutions that receive what type of funding?

• A. Federal funding
• B. Private funding only
• C. State funding only
• D. No funding

Answer: (A)

Title IX applies to educational institutions that receive federal funding for any of their programs or activities. When a school receives federal money—through student loans and grants, research funding, or other subsidies—it must comply with Title IX’s protections against sex discrimination and ensure equal access in areas like admissions, athletics, and program participation. Private funding alone doesn’t automatically bring a school under Title IX, and a school with no federal funds isn’t bound by Title IX in the same way. In short, federal funding is what makes Title IX applicable.
