MIT Faces Civil Rights Complaint Over Program for Women of Color

Equal Protection Project alleges the CRWN program discriminates based on race and sex, violating federal laws.

Complaint filed with Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights by Equal Protection Project.
CRWN program at MIT is exclusive to women of color, including those identifying as women.
Critics argue the program's criteria constitute 'reverse-racism' and 'reverse-sexism.'
MIT has declined to comment on the legal matter.
Complaint references Supreme Court ruling against racial discrimination for diversity purposes.
