This dataset highlights schools where 10 or more single-sex Scholarships & Programs violations were identified and later addressed through our complaint filing process with the Office for Civil Rights (OCR). Each entry represents institutions where multiple scholarships, programs, or initiatives were alleged to restrict student eligibility or participation based on sex, constituting potential Title IX violations.
The table provides a detailed overview of each case, including the school name, state, OCR region, complaint filing date, outcome date, percentage breakdown of sex-based exclusions identified, and the total number of violations resolved by OCR.
One of the most significant findings is the number of violations identified at certain institutions, with OCR resolving dozens of individual violations included within a single complaint filing submitted by our team. The data also shows that resolution timelines vary considerably—while some cases reached outcomes within months, others remained active for multiple years, highlighting the sustained effort required from our team, including continued follow-up and engagement with OCR, to drive corrective action and secure meaningful outcomes.
Patterns across the data further show that exclusions were disproportionately directed toward one sex rather than being evenly distributed. On average, the violations identified in this dataset consisted of:
Male Violations: 93.8% Female Violations: 6.2%
These findings indicate that the overwhelming majority of violations involved scholarships or programs that excluded male students, highlighting a substantial imbalance in the availability of sex-restricted opportunities across institutions.
One of the most striking findings is the scale of this disparity. These results become even more notable when viewed alongside broader higher education trends, where women now earn the majority of associate’s degrees, bachelor’s degrees, master’s degrees, and many doctoral degrees. This broader context suggests that continued use of sex-restricted opportunities that disproportionately exclude male students warrants closer attention and review to ensure educational opportunities remain consistent with Title IX requirements.

Our data further highlights the often lengthy process involved in resolving our Title IX complaints and demonstrates the broader impact and outcomes achieved through Title IX complaint filings. While resolution timelines historically presented challenges and frequently required persistent follow-up efforts with OCR, more recent outcomes reflect encouraging improvements in OCR responsiveness and progress toward corrective action. This dataset provides insight into both the scope of the issue and the importance of ensuring educational opportunities remain accessible to all students while supporting continued compliance with Title IX requirements.
