Michigan professor challenges women-only UVA scholarships

Article here. Excerpt:

'A University of Michigan at Flint professor has complained about eight University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business scholarships, saying they discriminate against men.

Mark Perry, a professor of economics, sent a complaint to U.Va.’s Title IX office last week about the single-gender, women-only scholarships at Darden, as well as the Forte Foundation Fellows program, which connects females who receive merit-based scholarships to networking and leadership opportunities. He asked the office to investigate whether U.Va. “is engaging in ongoing, systematic and illegal sex/gender-based discrimination, in violation of Title IX standards and U.Va.’s own stated policy of non-discrimination based on gender,” according to his complaint. Male students and students who do not identify with either gender are being denied equal access to financial aid, he said.'
