Defending Ed Files a Civil Rights Complaint Against Yale University for Violations of Title IX

OCR Complaints


Defending Ed filed a civil rights complaint with the U.S. Department of Education against Yale University for discrimination on the basis of sex in programs or activities that receive federal financial assistance in violation of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. Yale University is one of the United States’ most prestigious educational institutions. It is one of nine American colleges that pre-existed the Declaration of Independence. But its rich history only makes Yale’s apparent Title IX violations all the more tragic. Yale has conflated sex discrimination with gender identity discrimination, and among others, maintains a bathroom policy that denies the reality of biological sex. The storied institution seems content to follow its fellow progressive ivies down the path to sex denialism and trade federal law for political pandering to a certain subset of students.

We’ve asked the Department of Education to investigate.
