Here at Bamieh and De Smeth we believe that all people, no matter their sex, have the right to fully benefit from equal opportunities that educational institutions provide to students and employees across the U.S. This is why we are passionate about representing individuals whose Title IX rights were unjustly violated. Although Title IX is most commonly associated with athletics, it likewise provides protections from a variety of harms resulting from assault, sexual harassment, and even employment discrimination.
Put simply, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 makes it illegal for educational institutions that accept federal funding to discriminate against individuals due to their sex. These institutions include universities, colleges, charter schools, and local school districts. Title IX also applies to educational programs in libraries, museums, and prisons, etc., that receive government funds.
