Abstract
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 protects participants in educational programs or activities from sex discrimination. Sexual harassment is a prohibited form of sex discrimination, and sexual violence (such as sexual assault or rape) is a severe form of sexual harassment that is also prohibited. While acts of sexual violence are criminal matters, the educational institution is responsible for protecting students from acts of discrimination that interfere with the opportunity to gain the full benefit of their educational experience. As such, school administrators are responsible for prompt and effective response to acts of sexual violence against students under Title IX. In 2011, the US Department of Education Office for Civil Rights issued a Dear Colleague Letter addressing schools’ obligations to eliminate sexual violence. This article focuses on the implications this guidance document has for intercollegiate athletics administrators.
