Education Department Investigates Men’s Group’s Claims Against Women’s Program

Over the last year, its civil rights division has opened investigations into Yale, Princeton, the University of Southern California and Tulane University to determine whether their women’s programs violate Title IX, a federal law that prohibits sex discrimination at schools that receive federal funding. The department also has received complaints against Georgetown, Northeastern and the University of Pennsylvania.

With more women attending and graduating from college than men in America, Pekgoz says women no longer need additional support.

“Women are the majority, so I really cannot see how this is not discrimination against men,” said Pekgoz, a student at the University of Southern California.

He studied English literature in Turkey and moved to the U.S. four years ago to pursue an advanced degree. “We can’t keep living in the past on these issues.”

The complaints under investigation by the Education Department describe opportunities that appear to exclude men.

The Yale Women Innovators, a weekly event series, is discriminatory, Pekgoz argues, because it says it is open to “all Yale women and non-binary femme students, alumni, faculty staff, and community members.” At Princeton, he said in another complaint, the university treats male students unfairly by offering a course on defending against sexual assault only to women.

“Everything should be available on a gender-neutral basis,” Pekgoz said.

Peter Lake, a professor of education and law at Florida’s Stetson University, sees the recent complaints as a “counterbalancing trend.”

The Obama administration expanded protections for victims of sexual assault, making it easier to bring complaints and hold schools to task if they ignored them. Some critics said that those Obama guidelines were unfair to the accused and violated due process.

Interesting if they start classifying a false accusation as a sexual assault.

White men are the only group of people in this country that can be discriminated against and not cause an uproar.

I saw something in Walmart yesterday that said “Women owned”. I might of bought it if it didn’t say that.

I don’t have anything against women owning a company. But to use that as advertising is blatant sexism.

I also recommend reading THE MYTH OF MALE POWER and watching the film, THE RED PILL which is on youtube.com https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mB13NV7rY0
