Female-Only STEM Programs and Title IX

Female-only science programs, launched by many universities to redress gender imbalance in such fields as computer science and engineering, are coming under growing legal attack as sex discrimination against men. The U.S. Department of Education has opened more than two dozen investigations into universities across the nation that offer female-only scholarships, awards, professional development workshops and even science and engineering camps for middle and high school girls. Sex discrimination in educational programs is banned under Title IX, a federal law that applies to all schools, both public and private, that receive federal funding. Everett Bartlett, president of the Stop Abusive and Violent Environments, will join me to discuss the issue. In the second hour, I'm joined by Ron Edwards to discuss multiple topics. Don't forget about the Edwards Notebook and the Veteran's Tip of the Day! All of this and more as time allows.
