Title IX watchdogs keeping tabs on university academic departments

Story here. Excerpt:

'Over the past couple years, government agencies such as the Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation and NASA have started undertaking Title IX compliance reviews in university science and engineering programs at a handful of schools across the nation. In fact, auditors from the Department of Energy visited UW-Madison April 1-2 to review its graduate physics program, and a final report is due out by the end of the year.

"American scientists should brace themselves for the destructive tsunami headed their way," said Christina Hoff Sommers, a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank.

"Here is what is extremely odd about this Title IX movement," said Sommers. "We are looking at a serious problem with males in education. Our universities are approaching 60 percent female. The University of Wisconsin is about 55 to 56 percent female. So why not have some investigations about the under-representation of men in college enrollment?"
