Title IX Trojan Horse
At issue is a move by the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights to investigate liberal arts college admissions. The inquiry was begun based on reports that many private liberal arts colleges — struggling to have anything close to parity between male and female students — favor male applicants. Private undergraduate colleges generally are considered to have the legal right to do so, given an exemption in Title IX for their admissions policies. But much of the probe is directed toward the issue of athletics, with commissioners favoring the inquiry saying that it would be “preferable” for liberal arts colleges to add male athletic teams to attract more male students than it is to use admissions preferences, as is alleged to be taking place now.

The real “Troja nHorse” in Title IX is that despite the SC ruling in MUW v.Hogan (1982) that Section 901(a) 5 of Education Amendments of 1972 exluding colleges that have been single sex since their “inception” is invalid because Congress lacks power to “restrict, abrogate, or dilute” equal protection provions, women-only colleges continue to deny admission to men.
