We often hear about cases of discrimination against women, in the workplace and on college campuses, but discrimination against men is typically dismissed as non-existent.
A former U.S. Department of Education official named Adam Kissel is casting a spotlight on discrimination against men at Stanford University, and he says the problem is pervasive.
Isaac Willour reports at The College Fix:
Nearly three dozen Stanford programs discriminate against males, complaint allegesAdam Kissel only started filing Title IX complaints against college programs that allegedly discriminate against men in the past few months, but he’s especially shocked about his latest target.“[I] have never seen discrimination so pervasive as at Stanford,” the former Department of Education official tweeted, naming 33 programs that he believes practice sex discrimination – 22 in the name itself.Kissel filed a Title IX complaint against the private university with the department’s Office for Civil Rights late last month, and shared it with The College Fix upon request.It includes a “Frequently Asked Questions” section specifically “tailored to this complaint,” which “answers many questions you might have,” Kissel wrote to the agency.The Supreme Court does not limit discrimination to “direct signs that people will see,” such as a program that literally says “women only,” but also “actual practices” such as “recruitment techniques,” the complaint said.Kissel said website language for the programs, and the absence of male students in photos, would convince a “reasonable male” that he cannot participate in the programs because of his sex.
I reached out to Kissel for comment. He responded:
Stanford’s faculty is 55% female, yet almost anywhere you look, you see Stanford discriminating against men or boys.Nothing in President Biden’s executive orders suggests a policy of sweeping Stanford’s pervasive sex discrimination under the rug.
Adam posted a comprehensive thread about this on Twitter:
In recent years, more women have entered college than men. Why are women still treated like a minority on campus?
