Pervasive Sex Discrimination at North Carolina Universities

This report examines five of North Carolina's largest universities -- University of North Carolina (UNC)-Chapel Hill, UNC Charlotte, North Carolina State University, Wake Forest University, and Duke University -- and finds that discrimination on the basis of sex is rampant at these higher education institutions. Tens of thousands of male students, staff, and faculty members at those five universities alone are limited in their access to education programs and activities that are for women only. Some of these programs even discriminate in favor of girls and against boys in the local community. There are too many violations to describe them all, however, this report provides an introduction to the full list. It seems likely that other universities in the UNC system follow the same pattern, providing evidence that systemic sexism is rampant across the entire system.
