# AGENCY:

Department of Justice (“DOJ”). 

# ACTION:

Notice of Department of Justice Financial Assistance Subject to Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, as amended. 

# SUMMARY:

                        In accordance with Subpart F of the final common rule for the enforcement of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, as amended (“Title IX”), this notice lists federal financial assistance administered by the U.S. DOJ that is covered by Title IX. Title IX prohibits recipients of federal financial assistance from discriminating on the basis of sex in education programs or activities. Subpart F of the Title IX common rule requires each federal agency that awards federal financial assistance to publish in the                         **Federal Register**                         a notice of the federal financial assistance covered by the Title IX regulations within sixty (60) days after the effective date of the final common rule. The final common rule for the enforcement of Title IX was published in the                         **Federal Register**                         by twenty-one (21) federal agencies, including DOJ, on August 30, 2000 (65 FR 52857-52895). DOJ's portion of the final common rule will be codified at 28 CFR Part 54.                     

# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title IX prohibits recipients of federal financial assistance from discriminating on the basis of sex in educational programs or activities. Specifically, the statute states that “[n]o 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,” with specific exceptions for various entities, programs, and activities. 20 U.S.C. 1681(a). Title IX and the Title IX common rule prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex in the operation of, and the provision or denial of benefits by, education programs or activities conducted not only by educational institutions but by other entities as well, including, for example, law enforcement agencies, departments of corrections, and for profit and nonprofit organizations.
