In May 2020 we sued the Department of Health and Human Services on behalf of the Daily Caller News Foundation (DCNF) for emails about COVID-19, China, and WHO. The last response...

In the United States, women are still heavily under-represented in corporate leadership positions. Over the past 14 years, the percentage of female directors at the largest U.S. companies has increased by a meager 0.5% per year, and amounted to 26.3% in 2018, according to the most recent report of Corporate Women Directors International. If this growth rate remains unchanged, it will take nearly half a century to achieve gender parity at U.S. corporate boards. In other countries with similar gender disparities in corporate leadership, legislators have responded by adopting mandatory board quotas. The first country to act was Norway, which...

The EU commissioner for justice and home affairs, Viviane Reding, will table a proposal in October or November that would fine or sanction state-owned companies whose supervisory boards are composed of less than 40 percent of women by 2020. The draft legislative proposal—seen by the International Herald Tribune and the Financial Times—aims to tackle persistent gender imbalances across the EU. … Women currently occupy less than 14 percent of board positions in top publicly-listed companies, according to EU data published in January. In 2010, it was 11.8 percent. …

Ever since Congress passed the federal gender-equity law known as Title IX, universities have opened their gyms and athletic fields to millions of women who previously did not have chances to play. But as women have surged into a majority on campus in recent years, many institutions have resorted to subterfuge to make it look as if they are offering more spots to women. At the University of South Florida, more than half of the 71 women on the cross-country roster failed to run a race in 2009. Asked about it, a few laughed and said they did not know...

As Wall Street scrambles to comply with the regulations of the Dodd-Frank financial overhaul, one little-noticed provision has executives scratching their heads. The statute, included in Section 342 of the bill, creates 20 Offices of Minority and Women Inclusion at the various regulatory agencies, including the Treasury, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the 12 Federal Reserve banks and the newly created Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Once established, the offices are charged with monitoring the diversity at the agencies as well as at any contractors or subcontractors, including...

Before the collapse of the Soviet empire, party officials would handpick the candidates for office. Since all the candidates were members of the Communist party, the outcome of the election was never in doubt. This way, everyone was happy. The Communist party could maintain its grip on the workings of government. And the Soviet citizens could believe that they had participated in an open and free election. But when the Soviet Union imploded in 1991, the perverse notion of rigging the elections did not go away. Because just four years later, the Beijing Women's Conference approved a quota policy that...

There's going to be an unusual sports team touring the country this fall -- the new federal commission that will study Title IX, the gender athletics law. And if it does its job fairly, it will be hearing from some pretty upset folks in the bleachers. That's because the breadth of people who have been adversely affected, yes harmed, by the dubious enforcement of that law is much wider than you might think. It includes tens of thousands of male student athletes who have had their teams eliminated to comply with the law's onerous "proportionality" quota. There are also moms...
