Title IX

Please find below a mini Title IX library that includes sample complaints, notification letters, and resolution letters. Click on the text boxes to retrieve the files.

University of Southern California, #09-16-2128

A precedential class-action complaint against the University of Southern California, which established that men have the right to file sexual assault complaints against women. The complaint also established that men have collective rights as victims under Title IX.

University of Southern California, #09-18-2031

Originally dismissed by the San Francisco Office and reinstated on appeal to the Washington DC Office, this complaint set the precedent that (a) men are a minority in colleges, thus shifting the logic of affirmative action laws, and (b) female-only scholarships and programs are illegal under Title IX.

Tulane University, #06-18-2230

A resolution letter against Tulane University, which outlawed various female-only scholarships and programs (including the Newcombe College Institute itself, successor to the all-female Sophie newcomb Memorial College).

Georgetown University, #11-19-2003

This complaint was nominally filed by the National Coalition for Men but authored by myself. I am also the person who generated publicity about the complaint. The notification letter is precedential because it marks the first time the Office for Civil Rights investigated an academic institution for offering unlawful preference for women in its employment and hiring practices.

Northeastern University, #01-18-2197

This complaint was nominally filed by the National Coalition for Men but authored by myself.

University of Kansas, #07-19-2129

This complaint was filed by Suzanne McCarley but authored by myself. The complaint is precedential because it marks the first time (to my knowledge) that the Office for Civil Rights was willing to investigate a Woman's Center. Various scholarships and female-only programs are under investigation as of now.

University of Idaho, #10-19-2118

This complaint was filed by Candace Elliott but authored by myself. Again, various scholarships and female-only programs are under investigation as of now.

Yale University, Dismissal Letter, #01-18-2079

Biden's Office for Civil Rights departs from the precedents established during the Obama and Trump administrations and shutters a widely publicized civil rights inquiry against Yale University.

Barnard College, Dismissal Letter,
#02-19-2086

Biden's Office for Civil Rights departs from the precedents established during the Obama and Trump administrations to dismiss a civil rights complaint against Barnard College.
