Provides significant assistance to American Psychological Association
An activist who prompted a federal investigation of Yale University for
anti-male bias has a new Ivy League target.
Kursat Christoff Pekgoz filed a Title IX complaint against Harvard
University for its partnership with the American Psychological
Association, saying it creates a toxic environment for male students.
The APA issued guidelines in August describing traditional masculinity
as harmful, but didnt widely publicize them until earlier this month.
Pekgoz, a provosts fellow in the Department of English at the University
of Southern California, claims Harvards association with the organization
violates Title IX in light of the APAs report.
Harvards Clinical Psychology Program is accredited by APA, all clinicians
in the program receive APA training, and all of Harvards staff
psychologists and counselors use APA guidelines, according to the
complaint. The university loans space on campus and its website to the APA
as well. These ties demonstrate Harvard is providing significant
assistance to the association.
The universitys endorsement of these guidelines creates a hostile
environment against men, said the complaint, filed Tuesday with the U.S.
Department of Educations Office for Civil Rights.
In addition to Pekgoz, attorney James Preston and John Davis of the Perses
Institute are listed as complainants. Pekgoz told The College Fix that if
necessary, Preston would also file litigation against Harvard in support
of the Title IX complaint.
Shortly before this article was published, Pekgoz told The Fix he had
learned that Preston may not be currently licensed as an attorney. (The
complaint says Preston is admitted District of Columbia and gives his
license number.) Pekgoz said he would remove Prestons name from the
complaint if he didnt get verification of the lawyers status.
In an email to The Fix Thursday, Davis said Preston was a member in good
standing of the DC Bar and that is a matter of public record.
Title IX complaint says Har by on Scribd
No reasonable male person would seek counseling at Harvard under
guidelines
The guidelines claim that traditional masculinity ideology has been
shown to limit males psychological development, constrain their
behavior, result in gender role strain and gender role conflict, and
negatively influence mental and physical health.
Since the APA has classified traditional masculinity as a form of mental
illness, and Harvard sponsors the association, it will lead to a
discriminatory environment for men at Harvard who exhibit traits aligned
with traditional masculinity, the complaint argues. (It refers incorrectly
to the American Psychology Association throughout the filing.)
Pekgoz alleges that Harvard discourages men from seeking counseling
services by using the APA guidelines: No reasonable male person would
seek counseling at a clinic where his sexual identity is considered to be
a form of mental illness (or a driving factor for mental illness).
The American Psychology Association [sic] has made an insidious and
ideologically charged move to declare masculinity itself to be a form of
mental illness, Pekgoz (left) told The Fix in an email. APAs move
demonstrates the degree of radical feminist infiltration within Americas
once-mainstream organizations, he said.
As per DOE policy, a hostile environment can occur even in the absence of
intent to harm or even if the hostility is not directed at a particular
target, the complaint states. It cites 2010 guidance sent to colleges by
the Office for Civil Rights under the Obama administration. This includes
situations in which students are harassed for exhibiting what is
perceived as a stereotypical characteristic for their sex.
Pekgozs complaint offers three suggestions for injunctive relief. The
APA can repeal the guidelines on masculinity or alter them to not rely
on the kind of broad and regressive sexual stereotypes discouraged by
Supreme Court doctrine, or Harvard can sever all ties with the APA.
Neither Harvard nor the APA responded to requests for comment.
Pekgoz has either filed or aided in more than a dozen Title IX complaints
against colleges and universities, charging that they have illegally
discriminated against men. He frequently notes that while women are a
majority of college students nationwide, an inordinate number of
scholarships are granted to women. Almost every college offers a Womens
Studies Department, but no equivalent programs exist for men, he says in
the complaint.
The Harvard complaint seeks to eliminate gender discrimination against
men without jeopardizing the civil rights of women.
UPDATE: The name of one of the complainants, John Davis, was misspelled in
the original article. It has been fixed. Davis emailed The Fix Thursday to
say that another co-complainant, James Preston, is listed in the public
record as a member in good standing of the DC Bar.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.
Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.
ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its
supporters can dispute that.
Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum
wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.
Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
