[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about Harvard:

If you, in your spare time, are part of any group that is single-sex, then as a Harvard student you are banned from playing on a sports team or holding a student leadership position.

[b]That includes being a member of groups for women in STEM fields. In your spare time. [/b]

What's next, they'll ban you depending on which church or mosque you attend on the weekend?[/quote]

It's not clear that's the case.  A "final club" of men clearly would trigger the policy as a "social organization," but I'd bet they treat associations of female STEM majors differently.

It's all based on the assumption that men cannot be allowed to exclude women in any social context.   Women and minorities rarely are held to similar standards by college administrators. [/quote]

At the very least, it affects sororities and fraternities:

Interesting Harvard has been so hush-hush about their policy even though it's taking effect soon.[/quote]
