Yale University is currently under federal investigation! The ivy league college’s female students are complaining that the university failed to eliminate a hostile sexual environment. The investigation stems from an October incident with a fraternity that made their freshman stand around their dorm chanting “No means yes! Yes means anal!” and other incidents that have occurred with the same fraternity. Read more about the investigation after the jump.

Yale is an institution of higher lechery, female students complain.
The Ivy League university is under federal investigation for “its failure to eliminate a hostile sexual environment,” according to the US Department of Education’s office for civil rights.
Last October, frat boys with Delta Kappa Epsilon had pledges stand around a freshman dorm and demonstrate their high IQs with chants such as “No means yes! Yes means anal!”
Administrators have also come under fire for failing to address an annual grading of the attractiveness of female students known as the “preseason scouting report.”
A list of 53 students was circulated enumerating how many drinks the fraternity members said they would need before having sex with them.
A complaint from 16 students sent March 15 alleges the university essentially ignored incidents of harassment, resulting in the denial of equal opportunity, the Department of Education said.
The students also cite incidents in which fraternities held up a sign reading, “We love Yale sluts,” outside a women’s center.
The complaints include allegations that Yale failed to adequately respond to reports of sexual assault or attempted assault and stalking, said Alexandra Brodsky, a Yale junior who is one of the complainants.
Brodsky said the students and former students who signed the complaints were “really frustrated and disappointed that Yale again and again fails to respond to both public and private acts of sexual harassment and assaults which creates an environment in which women feel devalued.”
Last month, police investigated an alleged sexual assault following an off-campus “naked party” at which students say they were force-fed alcohol. Several of those who attended had to be hospitalized.
Yale officials said they would cooperate with the investigation and they take such allegations “extremely seriously.” The officials said they couldn’t respond to the complaint because they hadn’t received it.
