UC San Diego scrubs female-only STEM program after federal complaint

The University of California San Diego removed some information about its STEM program only open to female high school students following a federal civil rights complaint.

The physical sciences’ department page for “STEM Girl Summer” returns an “access denied” message.

He said in his complaint that the university should open the program to all students or create an equivalent opportunity for male students.
