Male trailblazers at Moore College of Art
July 11, 2010
Philadelphia's Moore College of Art and Design has, for the first time in its 162 years, accepted male students. The school's decision to admit men had less to do with brazen barrier-breaking than with a legal mandate. To found a graduate component last summer, Moore had to comply with a 1982 Supreme Court case barring single-sex admission. The roughly 500-woman undergraduate college retains single-sex status as one of roughly 60 programs grandfathered into the ruling.
