In 1972, Title IX of the education amendments made sex based discrimination illegal in educational institutions. This created a necessity of a Title IX Office at an educational institution such as Wake Forest University. The Title IX Office also provides resources to ensure that Disability Grievances are acknowledged and resolved. This is supported by the legal precedent of both the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act and the 1973 section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.
