ARE UNC’S POLICIES Biased Against Male Students? The Office for Civil Rights Wants To Know & Will Investigate
More than one year ago, a federal complaint was filed against the University of North Carolina (UNC) system, alleging systemic anti-male bias in their policies and procedures relating to campus sexual assault as well as their hiring practices. The complaint was filed by the National Coalition for Men Carolinas (NCFM), which argued the UNC system deprived male students and employees of due process rights. Last week, the Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) said they will open a formal investigation. The office will explore NCFM’s claim that UNC’s policies are biased against male students and open a formal investigation into this matter against Appalachian State University and UNC-Asheville. OCR said it would not investigate this claim at UNC-Chapel Hill because it already had a similar investigation open.
Chapel Hill has been the setting of some of the most prominent — and unlikely — accusations against male students. Andrea Pino has become famous for her often changing allegations that the school didn’t investigate her accusation (which she made anonymously with a limited description of the alleged assailant) and didn’t treat her well after she made her claim (which came after she tried to drop a class and was told she couldn’t).
In a statement to The Daily Wire, Greg Josefchuk praised OCR for finally accepting his organization’s complaint:
We are delighted that after 1 1/2 years from our filing that OCR has found our claim that UNC school sexual misconduct policies are biased against accused male students justifiable and will be opening investigations into the Title IX policies and practices at Appalachian State and UNC-Asheville.
