Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether a school that expels a student based on charges and evidence motivated by sex bias denies that student educational opportunities 'on the basis of sex'

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTION PRESENTED Title IX provides that “[n]o person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, 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.” 20 U.S.C. § 1681(a) (emphasis added). Prianka Bose’s chemistry professor falsely accused her of cheating in his class because she rejected his romantic advances. A disciplinary body of Rhodes College—despite being warned about the professor’s discriminatory motive—then expelled her based on evidence that he fabricated. The question presented is: Whether a school that expels a student based on charges and evidence motivated by sex bias denies that student educational opportunities “on the basis of sex.” (I)
