Title: Harvard Blacklists Students
Post by: airboy on May 07, 2016, 06:17:53 PM
Harvard has decided to ban from specific scholarships, leadership in any campus organization, and leadership on athletic teams anyone who belongs on an OFF CAMPUS single sex organization.

That's right, if you practice your freedom of association under the US Constitution Harvard will sanction you.

See: https://www.thefire.org/harvard-brings-back-the-blacklist-for-final-club-fraternity-sorority-students/

I would say it is unbelievable, but it is a psycho liberal institution and thus this is highly believable.

FIRE has won a bunch of lawsuits against universities for restrictions of freedoms of speech, association, and religion.  Looks like they will be winning another easy one.

Anyone? Including women? It's generally only men ... of European descent that progressives target with stuff like that.

Fraternities, sororities, social clubs, anything.  Single sex private association groups do not show enough "diversity."

I wonder if Harvard marvels at the irony of their own lack of diversity in having so few conservative faculty, students, and hangers-on...

And just in time for Obama's daughter to attend. I wonder if they will Blacklist her if her Secret Service detail is all single sex.

 i am astonished that Harvard still dare to call it a blacklist shouldn't it be called a all-colors-of-the-rainbow list ^-^

Harvard calls it "enhancing diversity."
