“June will now be dedicated to commemorating women and celebrating their struggle for, and achievement of, equal educational opportunity,” a department release said.
Title IX Month commemorates the 53rd anniversary of the amendment that “prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance,” the release states.
“This includes female students’ rights to sex-segregated intimate spaces and single-sex membership in sororities,” the release says.
“Throughout the month, the Department will highlight actions taken to reverse the Biden Administration’s legacy of undermining Title IX and announce additional actions to protect women in line with the true purpose of Title IX,” the release says.
