The University of Michigan (UM) is reviewing 11 school programs for potential Title IX violations resulting from favoring one gender over the other.

American Enterprise Institute (AEI) scholar Mark Perry drew the university’s attention to the programs, pointing out each could be in violation of federal law, as well as the Michigan State Constitution (http://www.legislature.mi.gov/(S(sszwqmkro010hjnt51j1ju2j))/mileg.aspx?page=GetObject&objectname=mcl-Article-I-26) and UM’s Nondiscrimination Policy (https://hr.umich.edu/working-u-m/workplace-improvement/office-institutional-equity/nondiscrimination-policy-notice).
Campus clubs such as the “Girls in Engineering, Math and Sciences Camp,” “Girls in Science and Engineering Camp” and “Girls Code Camp” favor the female gender over all others, Perry pointed out (https://www.aei.org/publication/more-on-my-efforts-to-advance-diversity-equity-and-inclusion/) in an email to Pamela Heatlie, UM associate vice-provost for Academic and Faculty Affairs and senior director for Institutional Equity and Title IX coordinator.
Women graduating from high school and entering college are generally of higher academic standing than men when it comes to STEM fields and classes, according to The College Board’s 2016 data (https://secure-media.collegeboard.org/digitalServices/pdf/sat/total-group-2016.pdf).

Therefore, if any gender should be given preferential treatment, it should be men, Perry posits.
