Quote:Tulane University has agreed to stop financially discriminating against male students in an unprecedented response to a Title IX complaint made against the school.

As PJ Media initially reported, the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) launched an investigation into Tulane University in August amid concerns that six of the school’s scholarships violated Title IX, the 1972 law that prohibits sex discrimination.

The complaint was filed by Margaret C. Valois, a Virginia Title IX attorney and mother of two sons. Though she typically provides legal counsel to students accused of sexual misconduct, she said she was inspired to file the complaint to fight educational inequity.

"Tulane's implementation of Title IX provides greater educational opportunities for female students than for male students. When opportunities and benefits are offered to one group because of their sex… it is patently unfair," said Valois at the time.

Four months later, Valois got unprecedented news. On December 14, Tulane University quietly entered into a resolution agreement with the OCR, which dictates that Tulane is now undertaking steps to ensure that financial assistance is fairly distributed.

"By September 6, 2019, the University will ensure that it is not treating male students differently on the basis of sex by providing different amounts of financial assistance, limiting eligibility for financial assistance… or otherwise discriminating with respect to financial assistance," details the resolution agreement.

To help ensure this, Tulane also agreed to arrange training for all financial aid officers and other administrators to ensure "nondiscrimination in financial assistance" and nearly all other aspects of campus life.

Tulane University will have until September 2019 to ensure compliance. From now on, OCR officials will monitor Tulane until the terms are met, and may send officers to campus to interview students, staff and administrators to assess progress.

If Tulane fails to uphold the agreement, the OCR threatens to possibly initiate judicial proceedings against the school. If the OCR finds that Tulane continues to allegedly violate Title IX, the OCR may revoke federal funding, but that is highly unlikely.

In an interview, Valois expressed optimism that more universities will start treating men fairly.

"I am optimistic that Tulane, and other schools as well, will recognize the need for change across the board in their academic programs, and that this agreement can serve as a road map to that change," said Valois in an exclusive interview with PJ Media.

You never hear anything about these dozens of Title 9 based lawsuits. There are dozens of them being brought by Men. Guessing universities are settling these with NDA?

just so everyone knows... Title IX is one of the ways the left got around the fact that ERA failed to pass.
