Ball State favors women

Article here. Excerpt:

'The June 30 story "Ball State in some Title IX trouble?" states that Title IX "prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex and applies to any education program or activity operated by a recipient of federal financial assistance." In fact, the application of Title IX allows discrimination so long as women are the beneficiaries.

Check out the Ball State Web site. The school has a women's studies program, offering a major and a minor, and one of whose goals is to have students develop an "appreciation of diversity." There is no men's studies program. So much for diversity.

Ball State has a women's health center that "was designed to meet those health needs unique to the female student population." There is no men's health center despite the fact that men have health problems unique to their sex. Among the health needs listed at the women's health center site are infertility issues, mild depression/anxiety, minor respiratory/sinus problems, urinary problems and sexual dysfunction. Men have these sorts of problems, too, but apparently their sex is not specifically invited to deal with them.'
