New York Post: CUNY faces probe

rograms aimed at helping black male students at the City University of New York are the focus of a federal bias probe after a civil rights group charged the programs discriminate against women and non-black students.
In a recent letter to the New York Civil Rights Coalition, the federal Department of Education said the allegations were “appropriate for investigation.”

The coalition urged the department’s Office of Civil Rights in April to examine the practices of the Male Development and Empowerment Center at Medgar Evers College and other CUNY programs in its so-called Black Male Initiative.
