Federal Laws Prohibiting Discrimination Against Students
Fortunately, there are various federal laws in place that protect college and university students from discrimination. Those laws include:
- Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX): Title IX prohibits sex discrimination in any educational program that receives federal funding.
- Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII): This law states that any program or activity receiving federal funding or financial assistance is prohibited from discriminating against students based on their national origin, color, or race.
- Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 & Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act: These laws protect college and university students from discrimination on the basis of disability.
A violation of any of these laws can have lasting effects on a student, and our firm will do everything in our power to help ensure that your case is heard and that you are protected under the law.
