Which statement about the scope of Title IX protections is true?

Title IX protections cover sex-based harassment that occurs in education programs or activities receiving federal funding. Dating violence can be considered a form of sexual harassment when it is based on sex or gender and interferes with a student’s education or participation in school programs. This means schools must respond to incidents of dating violence if they rise to the level of sexual harassment, regardless of whether criminal charges are filed. The protection isn’t limited to students; it also applies to staff and to the broader education program or activity. It also includes sexual assault within the scope of harassment or violence connected to the education environment. So the statement that dating violence is included as sexual harassment reflects how Title IX covers sex-based harassment and related violence within educational settings.
