"Clemson opens female-only programs to everyone to end federal investigation". Mark Perry, a professor of economics at the University of Michigan-Flint, had filed a sex discrimination complaint against the public university.

THIS IS WHY YOU NEED TO COMPLAIN

COMPLAINING WORKS

WHY DO YOU THINK FEMINISTS COMPLAIN 24/7/365 ????

Wait, so no investigation because they stopped breaking the law? Fucking punish them. What the fuck is this shit?

Perry showed The Fix a letter from OCR that informed him that it had closed the investigation. OCR said it had verified that Clemson had changed its programs to put them in compliance with Title IX regulations on gender discrimination.

In the letter, OCR said that Clemson had actually been working toward compliance with the three programs prior to being notified of the OCR investigation. The school told OCR that it sought to be compliant as soon as possible.

Why do I trouble believing this?

Perry speculated that the reason Clemson was already working toward compliance was due to his complaint with the school’s own Title IX office prior to filing the complaint with OCR.

I suspect it was just window dressing to make it look like they were doing something, when in fact they had no intention of following through. YMMV.

One of the comments...

Prof. Perry is to be commended. However, it remains to be seen whether Clemson will be truly welcoming to boys in these programs, or will simply replace "de jure" discrimination against them with "de facto", e.g. by advertising the program with pink-colored flyers and photos of only girls holding test tubes etc., to make them appear too "girly" for boys to be interested. (Meanwhile, administrators of the same mindset decry how the "macho" culture in STEM is off-putting to women and girls.)
Unfortunately, Prof. Perry's victory isn't going to magically make the program organizers' barely-concealed contempt for boys and men go away.

The Is should make the feminists very happy.

If you know of programs at your school that discriminate based on sex then report them!

Write to someone like this Prof. Mark Perry (easy to find his email address online) and tell him about the program and ask for his support.
File a complaint with your university's Title IX office. (Typically it can be done anonymously and/or confidentially.)
File a whistleblower complaint about the discriminatory program. (Typically it can be done anonymously and/or confidentially.)

Let's get off our asses and help change this bullshit!

The feminists should be so pleased that equality is finally being applied here.

Awesome!

Can students who were denied access to those programs now sue?

Takes a man to get some actual equality around here... Where's the feminists on these inequality issues? Oh, right, they think this is an inequity and their trumped up "male privilege" bs justifies the sexist practices that violate Title IX...

/s on the first line, if you can't tell it's a joke... Some peoples intarwebs and tubes... 🤷‍♂️
