How has Title IX been challenged and interpreted since its passage?
In Gebser v. Lago Vista Independent School District (1998) and Davis v. Monroe County School District (1999), the Supreme Court made clear that Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 requires schools to take action to prevent and stop the harassment of students by teachers or other students. However, those decisions also severely limited the circumstances under which victims of such harassment may recover money damages for their injuries.
