Harvard University Repeals Discriminatory Policy
https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2020/...sanctions/
Harvard has dropped its social group sanctions as a result of a recent Supreme Court decision on sex discrimination, University President Lawrence S. Bacow wrote in an email Monday afternoon.
In 2016, the College announced a set of sanctions against members of final clubs and single-gender Greek organizations, precluding students in those groups from receiving fellowships, athletics captaincies, and leadership positions in extracurricular groups. First applied to the Class of 2021, the sanctions received intense scrutiny and spawned a pair of lawsuits in state court and federal court.
Fraternities,Sororities and other single sex organizations joined in legal actions to challenge Harvard's policy.
