Sections 1681). There were several exceptions to the amendment including religious educational institutions that the amendment conflicts with their religion. Schools that train primarily for the military and single sex schools were also exempted. Youth organizations like the Boy Scouts and Girls Scouts that are voluntary and single sex are also exempt. In general single sex organizations and schools are not committed to complying with the Title IX amendment.
This amendment is overseen by the federal department but is subject to judicial review. The key purpose of this amendment is to have the institution and organization offer activities in a proportion that is the same proportion of that gender’s population that the institution or organization serves.
