    Title IX and Sex Discrimination
    3

      17,600 local school districts, over 5,000 postsecondary institutions, and charter schools, for-profit schools, libraries, and museums. Also included are vocational rehabilitation agencies and education agencies of 50 states, the District of Columbia, and territories of the United States.

      I find it ironic that these recipients include "17,600" school districts, as well as OVER 5,000 "postsecondary" schools, and yet problems like sexual assault are still so common. We have Title IX in place for a reason, so why is this still such a large problem? If this many institutions are listed, why is this issue so widespread?

      Some key issue areas in which recipients have Title IX obligations are: recruitment, admissions, and counseling; financial assistance; athletics; sex-based harassment, which encompasses sexual assault and other forms of sexual violence; treatment of pregnant and parenting students; treatment of LGBTQI+ students; discipline; single-sex education; and employment.

      I think it's great that this attempts to cover so many "bases", however, I feel like it's not meaningful if these institutions aren't actually doing their job regarding Title IX. Many issues listed here such as sex-based harassment and treatment of LGBTQ+ students are big issues that we see even just here at UNH.

      n addition to its enforcement activities, OCR provides information and guidance to schools, universities and other educational institutions and agencies to assist them in voluntarily complying with the law.

      It's crazy to me how Title IX seems so thorough and provides a lot of guidance and coverage, and yet there are still so many problems with these issues in our country.
