DOES YALE Exclude Males from Educational Programs? OCR Opens TitleIX Investigation
The U.S. Department of Education has launched a Title IX investigation into Yale University amid allegations that the institution offers educational programs and scholarship opportunities that exclude men. OCR is investigating seven Yale initiatives, including the Yale Women Faculty Forum, the Working Women’s Network, the Yale University Women’s Organization, and the Yale Women’s Campaign School. According to the OCR complaint, “Yale University violates Title IX by funding/sustaining programs which practice discrimination in their admission/election practices…women are a solid majority in colleges. Yale does not have any equivalent initiatives for men, even though men are a minority on campus.” For every 10 women who graduate with a BA, only eight men will do so, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. That federal research agency also finds that women have outpaced men in BA attainment in the U.S. since at least 1990.
