Yes, I didn’t want to get into all the details in the article because some of them are very technical, but the university sent Beeler a very carefully worded letter asserting that they pay strict attention to civil rights and Title IX requirements. That doesn’t mean they actually do, of course, but they appear to be cognizant of the risk the chairman of their political science department represents.

He never explained why he eventually deleted his Facebook post (nor apologize for it) but I’m guessing university may have pressured him out of Title IX compliance concerns.
