It goes on by adding that sex discrimination also can involve treating someone less favorably because of his or her connection with an organization or group that is generally associated with people of a certain sex. Consequently, sexual discrimination can be found in education, work, income and law. First, sexual discrimination can be applied in several educational program or activities. For example, an educational institution can grant more scholarships to men than women. Men or women can be discriminated against in the admission process, admitting men or women in some specific academic programs or major, providing sufficient funding for man athlete and not for women athlete. To cite some more examples, being more assertive in disciplining men than women, and grading students based on sex. All of these are some examples of sexual discrimination in education. However, the Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which prohibits sex discrimination in federally funded education programs or activities, provides the cornerstone of federal law ensuring equal educational opportunity (civilrights.org).
