Harvard dean stands firm against single-sex ‘final clubs’

The Boston Globe reports:
Harvard created a stir last month when it announced that it might “revise or replace” a controversial plan to sanction students who join all-male social clubs long seen as bastions of wealth and privilege.

To some on campus, it seemed Harvard, under pressure from alumni and faculty, might abandon its push to force so-called final clubs, as well as sororities and other women-only clubs, to accept members of the opposite sex.

But the new committee of students, professors, and administrators that will reexamine the issue now appears unlikely to grant the clubs a reprieve.

In an interview, Rakesh Khurana, dean of the college, made clear that, whatever the committee decides, single-gender social organizations will still have to go co-ed.
How much longer can Harvard have single sex sports teams, in the name of egalitarianism???
