The U.S. Department of Education is investigating one of the nation’s largest all-women’s colleges for admitting male students and giving them access to dormitories, restrooms, locker rooms, and sports teams.
The department’s Office of Civil Rights opened its investigation into those alleged Title IX violations at Smith College on May 4, federal officials announced. An exception to the 1972 law allows for single-sex student bodies—all-male or all-female—based on biological sex differences, not “subjective gender identity.”
