Separate but Equal?
July 25, 2011
Peace College has announced that once it admits men, some courses will remain single sex. The official announcement said that "the new coeducational institution will continue to be student-centered. One way is ... to offer select single-gender courses in targeted disciplines where research shows that women and men learn differently and that each benefit from a single-gender classroom." Several legal experts on gender discrimination in higher education said that there are significant legal questions about the idea.
