Prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in the admission of education programs or activities receiving federal financial assistance including employment. Under the Title IX common rule, a recipient may not discriminate against any person on the basis of sex in the counseling or guidance of students or applicants for admission. Specifically, in appraising or counseling students, a recipient must not use different testing or other materials on the basis of sex or use materials that permit or require different treatment of students on the basis of sex. Such different materials may be used, however, where they cover the same occupational interest areas and their use is shown to be essential to eliminate sex bias. Any grievance records relating to a Title IX violation or complaint must be retained for the period of time cited in state law for personal injury actions.
