male-dominated fields, including transportation, advanced manufacturing, and construction. (4) Although title IX ensures gender equity in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (in this section referred to as STEM ) education, women are disproportionately lost at nearly every stage of the STEM pipeline. A 2017 National Student Clearinghouse report confirms that the percentage of women earning STEM degrees has decreased over the past decade, with women earning 21 percent of engineering bachelor's degrees, 19 percent of computing bachelor's degrees, 42 percent of mathematics bachelor's degrees, and 39 percent of physical science bachelor’s degrees. In 2014, women of color earned only 7 percent of computing bachelor's degrees and 6 percent of engineering bachelor’s degrees. (5) Although title IX prohibits sex discrimination in employment in federally funded education programs, a 2018 report by the American Association of Women found that women comprise only 36 percent of tenured faculty and 30 percent of university presidents. A 2013 National Science Foundation report confirms that women only hold 29 percent of all tenured and tenure-track positions and 21 percent of full professor positions in STEM fields, Black and Hispanic women together hold only 2.6 percent of all tenured and tenure-track positions and 1.2 percent of full professor positions in STEM fields, and Asian-American women hold only 3.6 percent of all tenured and tenure-track positions and 1.7 percent of full professor positions in STEM fields. (6) Although title IX protects against sexual and sex-based harassment and violence, more than 50 percent of girls and 40 percent of boys in grades 7 through 12 experience sexual harassment each year, and approximately 10 percent of high school students experience dating violence each year. A 2015 Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network report indicates that 85 percent of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (referred to in this section as LGBTQ ) students
