which of the following types of harassment and discrimination does title ix not protect against?
Title IX does not protect against racial discrimination in this question’s list of options.
Quick Scoop
Title IX is a federal law that bans discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs and activities that receive federal financial assistance. That means it focuses on sex-based discrimination like sexual harassment, sexual violence, and discrimination against pregnant or parenting students or employees.
In the multiple-choice style question that is circulating online, the options are:
- Quid pro quo sexual harassment
- Relationship violence
- Racial discrimination
- Discrimination against pregnant or parenting students or employees
Title IX covers:
- Quid pro quo sexual harassment, where an educational benefit is conditioned on sexual favors.
- Many forms of sex-based relationship violence (like dating or domestic violence) when they are tied to sex discrimination in an educational program.
- Discrimination against pregnant or parenting students or employees, which is explicitly recognized as sex-based discrimination.
However, racial discrimination is not what Title IX is designed to address; that is generally covered by a different federal law, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination based on race, color, or national origin in programs receiving federal funds. In the context of the question “which of the following types of harassment and discrimination does Title IX not protect against?”, the correct answer is racial discrimination.
So if you see this as a quiz or training question, the marked correct choice is: C. Racial discrimination.
