'Male students can suffer from gender discrimination too, a federal judge ruled in letting a Title IX lawsuit proceed against Northwestern University.

The Daily Northwestern reports that the unnamed medical student is accusing the school of “deliberate indifference” and retaliation against him when he filed a complaint against a microbiology and pathology professor:

"The professor began sexually harassing the student within three months of his July 2007 enrollment in the program, according to the suit. The professor allegedly started “making suggestive comments” about the student’s physical appearance and “ogling” him. At a 2010 off-campus retreat, the professor allegedly invited the student back to his room so he could cut his hair. The suit also claims that the professor asked the student’s peers about the student’s sexual orientation."'
