Title IX

(cont'd from Friday's post)

So now men account for 42% of college degrees and women receive 58% of the degrees, just the opposite of the situation in the chart posted last Friday.

Back in 1972, Title IX was created to eliminate education discrimination on the basis of sex where federal financial assistance was involved:

"No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance."

Nine years later women and men received degrees equally. But today men have fallen behind.

Today Ohio State University is being investigated under Title IX  because it educational programs and activities limited to women only. Men are not allowed in. Somehow Title IX has not been enforced and gender discrimination is on the other foot.
