Harvard to Bar Members of Single-Gender Clubs From Leadership in Official Groups

The policy barring students from holding leadership positions in official groups while being members of what the school calls “unrecognized, single-gender social organizations,” also extents to the younger fraternities and sororities. Students will also not receive the dean’s endorsements for elite scholarships and fellowships if they’re found to be members of the groups.

“Campus culture has not changed as rapidly as student demography,” Ms. Faust said in an email to the college community Friday announcing her acceptance of Mr. Khurana’s recommendations.
She said that barring students from participation in the groups because of their gender “encourages a form of self-segregation that undermines the promise offered by Harvard’s diverse student body” and doesn’t prepare students for life after graduation, where gender-based discrimination “is understood as unwise, unenlightened, and untenable.”
And here's the kicker:

It remains unclear how Harvard administrators will enforce the new rule, since membership in the groups isn’t public. Mr. Khurana said he expects students will be honest when asked about their membership status.

If asked if I was part of an "unrecognized, single-gender organization," I would say "yes."
When asked which one, I would say "male."

It's funny that he's not barring members of Single-Race Clubs from these leadership positions and scholarship recommendations, isn't it???
They don't encourage a form of "self-segregation"?

Whenever they asked me, I lied.

Slowly but surely the Progressives will figure out a way to silence their opposition.
This is just another step.

I somehow doubt the young feminists' club will be subject to their regulations.

Are they shutting down the single sex dorms too and making them all coed? Because that would be the rt thing to do. Then you can tell suzy's dad when they come for a visit that she will be living with 18-22 year old males.

So if at least one member of the club identifies as transgender, it's all good, right?
Surely they aren't going to determine what a Single-Gender Club is based solely on biological parts, are they?

And, when they are assigning roommates, they also can't take gender into consideration, right? I mean wouldn't that be discrimination against the transgender freaks?

Oh yeah, I'm sure that members of Porcellian will be really distraught about this.
