Massive Sex Discrimination Against Men In College Scholarships
It's simply bizarre, the notion that we resolve discrimination by discriminating.
That isn't about fairness -- that's about seizing most of the pie under the guise of fairness.
Rebecca Stewart of SaveServices lays out the details:
An analysis of sex-specific scholarships at 115 of the nation's largest universities reveals widespread sex discrimination policies. Among 1,161 sex-specific scholarships, 91.6% were reserved for female students, with only 8.4% designated for male students.Such sex-specific scholarships violate requirements of federal Title IX regulations, which prohibit scholarships that "On the basis of sex, provide different amounts or types of such assistance, limit eligibility for such assistance which is of any particular type or source, apply different criteria, or otherwise discriminate." (34 CFR 106.37(a)(1))
The analysis was conducted on colleges in 24 states across the nation: : AL, AK, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DE, FL, GA, HI, ID, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, VA, WA, WV, WI, and WY.
The disparities were greatest in three states: Alabama (Male-female scholarship ratio: 2 to 81), Florida (Male-female ratio: 3 to 70), and Utah (Male-female ratio: 2 to 86). The only state where sex-specific disparities approached parity was South Carolina, with 12 scholarship programs designated for men and 16 programs for women. Full details are available on the Title IX Equity Project website (1).
SAVE has begun to contact these colleges about their discriminatory policies, urging them to come into compliance with Title IX requirements. When colleges decline to promptly remedy their discriminatory policies, complaints are forwarded to the federal Office for Civil Rights. An OCR Title IX investigation costs colleges $193,750, on average (2).
Last year the OCR reached a Resolution Agreement with Tulane University to correct eight discriminatory programs such as its Women-to-Women Mentoring program (3). Currently, the Office for Civil Rights is investigating complaints of female-specific programs at the following universities: Brown (Complaint No. 01-19-2053), Clemson (Complaint No. 11-19-2081), Michigan (Docket No. 15-18-2272), Rutgers (Case No. 02-19-2068), and Wayne State (Docket No. 15-18-2312).
Currently, 43.7% of college students are male (4), which means there are 129 women enrolled in college for every 100 men. For African Americans, the degree gap is much larger: Black women earned 178.2 bachelor's degrees in 2017 for every 100 degrees earned by Black men. [Digest of Education Statistics, Tables 322.40 and 322.50.]
Such disparities are incompatible with long-held aspirations for gender equality.
Ya think?

What's the gender ratio of the non-sex-specific scholarships?
A lot of middle class jobs that are held by more women require a BA or Masters, compared to jobs for men that don't (Nurse, teacher, vs contractor, plumber)

There are plenty of women who are contractors. Or at least on the masthead as owner.
Sometimes that's another dodge: claim to be a woman owned business (narrator: it's her husband's) and qualify for extra points when going for a government contract in their minority-owned company set a sides.

You didn't used to need a masters or even bachelors to be a teacher or nurse. Too many people wanted to get into those fields. With over supply comes limits trying to cut back on that supply and keep wages up. The degree is the modern union card.

It's interesting how things change. I have had a retired teacher here tell me that when this area was growing rapidly in the 1960s, "If you had a degree -- any degree -- you could teach". Many of my college professors where people who worked in industry during the day and taught a class or two on the side, in the evening.
As for the college scholarships: Don't count on anything to change. If there's one thing we've learned, it's that "holistic" admissions practices can be twisted to implement any admission policy that the administration wants, even if it is blatantly discriminatory, as long as it discriminates against the out-groups (e.g., the Harvard policies that restrict admission of Far East Asians). So I expect that the ratio of female to male students will continue to grow. If you ask the radical feminists, "When equality is achieved, what percentage of students will be white males?", if they are being honest, they will answer "zero".

Are those the same feminists who claim that gender is simply a social construct? what would they do if a significant portion of men come out as trans-females?
Good luck discriminating against them, you dirty trans-phobes!
"If you had a degree -- any degree -- you could teach".
That's still true, at least in colleges. My department has more than a few teaching assistants who hold BS degrees in relevant majors who teach 1000 and 2000 level introductory or secondary course classes. Stuff they should know very well, and will know even better after teaching it.
Will they be allowed within 500 feet of a public school to teach the same material? oh, heaven forbid! To sum up: they won't be allowed to teach your senior in high school, but will be allowed to teach your freshman in college.

Such disparities are not only compatible with, but are the objective of, the so-called aspirations for gender equality, which did not have a specific or quantifiable measure of equality as an objective, instead demanding that a grievance be addressed until all the aggrieved parties' hurt feelings are assuaged. No matter the price to be paid.
I said it in another thread, but it's worth repeating:
"...if not for the unnecessarily complicated certification process, almost anyone with a bachelor's degree could teach below the secondary level. A fair amount of those with subject-relevant Bachelor's degrees could teach at the secondary level. Pre-college teaching is not a job requiring hyper-specialized knowledge or absurd levels of physical or intellectual development."
Teachers and education industry bureaucrats want you to believe that teaching is specialized and difficult - this justifies demands for higher salaries and for more funding.

"Are those the same feminists who claim that gender is simply a social construct? "
Yep. Although ethnic identity is genetic and unchangeable. (Unless you go off the reservation; that permanently alters your genetics.)

When I was a freshman in college I was given work-study aid in one of the computer labs -- basically I was the helpdesk. The evening Masters of Ed. was taught in the same building and students from it would often use the lab. It was piratically necessary back in that day...the internet was not widely available or used. By the end of the semester I knew their stuff. To entertain myself I took their practice tests and could pass them with getting almost everything correct.

"You didn't used to need a masters or even bachelors to be a teacher or nurse."
That was when a BSN or a BA in education actually conferred significant knowledge.
"what would they do if a significant portion of men come out as trans-females?"
Already happening. In several states, the high school girls' records in track and field are held by students with Y chromosones and swinging penises. Within 5 years no cis-female will have a place in competitive sports except gymnastics.
"Pre-college teaching is not a job requiring hyper-specialized knowledge or absurd levels of physical or intellectual development."
No, but by policy it requires the four years of leftist indoctrination that is a modern education degree.
