Title IX — the federal law that ensured the fair treatment of male and female students — was enacted on June 23, 1972.

You may have seen headlines in 2018: Two University of Michigan professors refused to write letters advocating for a student to study abroad in Israel. This was in tandem with an effort for an academic boycott of Israel. Barring students from academic freedom is the exact opposite of what a university should promote.
