Federal Office of Civil Rights Investigates Yale

The Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights has opened an investigation into Yale (CT) for discrimination against men, in response to a complaint filed in February alleging that the University has violated Title IX with seven single-gender programs and scholarships that exclusively benefit women.  The complaint — which was taken up by the OCR on April 26, according to a department spokesman — was filed by Kursat Christoff Pekgoz, a doctoral student in English at the University of Southern California.
