Colleges and universities routinely violate the civil rights of some of there their students, faculty, and/or staff

See Let’s work together to challenge the selective double standard for the enforcement of Title VI and Title IX in higher education by Mark Perry. Excerpt:

"Despite the clear legal standards mandated by Title VI and Title IX that prohibit discrimination and the strong statements from the Biden administration guaranteeing an educational environment free from discrimination, it’s disappointing that colleges and universities across the country are apparently either ignorant of federal civil rights laws or they are unconcerned that they routinely violate the civil rights of some of there their students, faculty, and/or staff. Over the last three years of dedicated research efforts, I have uncovered more than 1,200 violations of Title IX and Title VI and I keep finding more violations all the time. The significant and troubling frequency of violations of federal civil rights laws in higher education demonstrates unaddressed systemic sexism and racism that needs greater awareness, exposure, and legal challenges. 

Typical and frequent illegal violations of Title IX that have gone unchallenged for many decades include various single-sex female-only scholarships, fellowships, awards, study spaces, mentoring, tutoring, special freshman orientations, industry meetings, summer STEM programs, summer STEM camps, coding clubs, leadership programs, entrepreneurship programs, gym hours, etc. that operate exclusively for women while illegally excluding and discriminating against boys and men. Over the last several years, it has also become increasingly common in higher education for universities to introduce illegal, racially segregated, or racially preferential events, affinity groups, theater performances, campus housing, course sections, music programs, scholarships, summer internships, and other academic programs that violate Title VI. 

Those violations of Title IX and Title VI reflect what is a clear, hypocritical, and selective double standard in higher education for the enforcement of federal civil rights laws. The civil rights of certain preferred groups are vigorously protected – women and persons of color – while the civil rights of un-preferred groups are routinely violated – men, whites, and Asians. Schools have routinely engaged in illegal discrimination on the basis of race and sex against the un-preferred groups in violation of Title VI and Title IX for many decades with impunity because the violations of their civil rights are rarely questioned or challenged. That has changed in recent years following the research that uncovered thousands of Title VI and Title IX violations and led me to file federal civil rights complaints with the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) against almost 300 colleges and universities to hold them accountable for their thousands of violations of federal civil rights laws. 

Based on more than 433 individual complaints with the OCR against 300 schools (multiple complaints have been filed against many schools including 12 against the University of Minnesota, 8 vs. UT-Austin, 7 vs. Harvard, and 5 vs. University of Illinois), the OCR has opened 218 federal investigations to date at colleges and university for hundreds of civil rights violations, and 133 of those investigations have been resolved, mostly in my favor."
