Title IX Resources at the MCC Libraries

What is Title IX?

Title IX is the most commonly used name for the federal civil rights law in the United States that was enacted as part (Title IX) of the Education Amendments of 1972. It prohibits sex-based discrimination in any school or any other education program that receives funding from the federal government. This is Public Law No. 92‑318, 86 Stat. 235 (June 23, 1972), codified at 20 U.S.C. §§ 1681–1688.

Title IX says:

"No 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." - Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972

Monroe Community College maintains an office which educates people about, and enforces the provisions of, Title IX. For all current information, and college resources currently in effect, visit this link.

MCC's Title IX office and the MCC Libraries have developed a selection of books to better understand and educate about the provisions of Title IX.
