第九条 of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 is a federal law that states:
"No person in the United States shall, 以性别为基础, 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."
第九条 applies to all educational institutions, both public and private, that receive federal funds. Almost all private colleges and universities must abide by 第九条 regulations because they receive federal funding through federal financial aid programs used by their students.
