<Ul> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> </Ul> <P> Title IX, as a federal civil rights law in the United States of America, was passed as part of the Education Amendments of 1972 . This is Public Law No. 92 ‐ 318, 86 Stat. 235 (June 23, 1972), codified at 20 U.S.C. § § 1681--1688 . It was co-authored and introduced by Senator Birch Bayh in the U.S. Senate . It was later renamed the Patsy Mink Equal Opportunity in Education Act in 2002 after Patsy Mink, its late U.S. House co-author and sponsor . The following is the original text as made, signed into law by U.S. President Richard Nixon in 1972: </P> <P> 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 . </P> <P> Title IX was enacted as a follow - up to passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 . The 1964 Act was passed to end discrimination in various fields based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin in the areas of employment and public accommodation . The 1964 Act did not prohibit sex discrimination against persons not employed at educational institutions . Classical feminists during the early 1970s lobbied leaders to draft a separate law to include this demographic which was mostly applied to athletics, implicitly, at the time . This demographic was largely the student demographic enrolled at U.S. schools and universities . Title IX did not apply to employees, as they were already protected under the Civil Rights Act of 1964 . While Title IX is best known for its impact on high school and collegiate athletics, the original statute made no explicit mention of sports . Coverage of sports was implied, however, as this topic was the topic on which the lobbying was based . President Barack Obama used Title IX to apply to sexual orientation, gender identity, and physical / mental handicap through a series of "Dear Colleague" letters that remain in legal limbo . Under U.S. President Donald Trump, this has been rescinded back to the original protections under the Civil Rights Act of 1964 . </P>
