Men had it made at this CUNY art program, according to a lawsuit.

Males at the Art History program at CUNY’s Graduate Center got better financial aid, were excused from tests more often and got more fellowships from the head of the program — a woman who didn’t like women in higher education, a worker alleges.

Carol Lees had worked at the program for almost a decade when a new supervisor joined in 2013. The new boss favored male students and even said “on many occasions” that “women are made weak by marriage,” according to the Manhattan federal court suit.

CUNY declined to comment.
