Challenging new Title IX rules, legal group says women in STEM award discriminates against real men

Article here. Excerpt:

'On July 10, the Equal Protection Project (EPP) of the Legal Insurrection Foundation filed a civil rights complaint against the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) that alleges that the eligibility criteria of RIT’s Women in STEM Award discriminates against biological males who identify as males.

The Women in STEM Award at RIT is a scholarship valued at $76,000 designed to support outstanding high school students with a demonstrated interest in areas like science, computing, robotics, and math.

However, the award is exclusively open to “outstanding female, female-identifying, or non-binary student[s]” – effectively excluding males who identify as males, according to EPP. The civil rights organization alleges that this exclusion violates Title IX as interpreted by the Biden administration’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) and RIT’s nondiscrimination policies.'
