Yale under federal investigation for alleged Title IX violation
(CNN) -- Yale University is under federal investigation after a complaint was filed that claims it's policies have allowed a "sexually hostile environment" to exist on campus, officials said.

The complaint blames the prestigious university for failing to adequately respond to alleged incidents of harassment, U.S. Department of Education spokesman Jim Bradshaw quoted the complaint Friday as saying.

The school is accused of providing an insufficient grievance process for addressing the federal gender-equity law, Title IX, which allegedly resulted in "the denial of equal opportunity to education for numerous university students," he said.

Yale spokesman Thomas Conroy told CNN that the university cannot respond to the accusations because it has not yet received the formal complaint.

Back in October, new pledging students at the Yale Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity went to the Women's Center and chanted: "No means yes! Yes means anal!", that incident was recorded and uploaded to Youtube.
