HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE, MIZZOU JUST GETS STUPIDER EDITION: Mizzou official: Asking a smaller woman on a date violates Title IX.

The University of Missouri believes that asking someone on a date can violate Title IX in certain situations. Its officials can’t agree on which situations, however.

In a motion for summary judgment filed on Christmas Eve, Jeremy Rowles shared excerpts of depositions with Mizzou officials from his federal lawsuit against the public university.

They suggest that male students should avoid asking out female students at all, particularly when the male is physically larger than the female.

This is clearly a hostile educational environment on account of sex, based on the presumption that all men are rapists, made more problematic since the accused is a black male and the offended party is a white female. Shades of Emmet Till! The Department of Education should investigate.
