UConn ‘first-year women’ program faces federal complaint

Article here. Excerpt:

'The University of Connecticut faces a federal civil rights complaint for an “innovators” program that is only open to females.

The public university in Storrs operates a “First-Year Women Werth Innovators cohort” which includes money, networking, and mentoring opportunities for aspiring entrepreneurs. While men can apply for similar programs as sophomores and juniors, there is no equivalent for freshmen males.

Civil rights activist Mark Perry shared with The College Fix a copy of the recent complaint he filed with the Department of Education. He says the program “illegally excludes and discriminates against non-female, first-year students based on their sex and gender identity.”

He cites several examples of how the program’s language is only directed at women.'
