Passed by Congress as part of the Education Amendments of 1972, Title IX provides that “[N]o person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.”

On March 3, 2004, the Department of Education published their recommended changes to amend Title IX regulations to provide more flexibility for educators to establish single-sex classes and schools at the elementary and secondary levels. The American Association of University Women opposes these proposed changes.
