7 members voting present or abstaining. Reagan's veto was the first veto of a civil rights act since Andrew Johnson vetoed the Civil Rights Act of 1866. In addition to Title IX, the Act applies to the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967. The Act was a response to the Grove City College v. Bell Supreme Court decision in 1984. The decision held that only the particular program in an educational institution receiving federal financial assistance was required to comply with anti-discrimination provisions of Title IX. This decision created loopholes for educational institutions to continue discriminatory practices in other areas, which had a significant impact on minority communities, women, and people with disabilities. With the passage of the act, educational institutions that receive federal funding, were required to comply with all federal civil rights laws, including those relating to gender, race, and disability. The act also extended protection against discrimination to a wider range of individuals, including students, faculty, and staff. Since its passage, the act has been critical in ensuring that federal funding is used to promote equality and prevent discrimination. It has been used to hold institutions accountable for discriminatory practices and has helped to create a more equitable society for all individuals.
