Definition of Recipient<br />
• All educational institutions that receive<br />
federal funds—including public and some<br />
private elementary and secondary schools<br />
and virtually all colleges/universities—are<br />
subject to Title IX.<br />
• Funds need not be received directly;<br />
indirect funding triggers coverage.<br />
• Institutions might be covered even absent<br />
a direct link to federal aid – e.g., Sixth<br />
Circuit has held that high school athletic<br />
association is subject to Title IX because it<br />
exercises “controlling authority” over<br />
member schools, which receive federal<br />
funds.<br />
