Some colleges and universities would be barred from penalizing single-sex student organizations under a measure included in amended legislation to reauthorize the Higher Education Act that was proposed by Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives. The House’s Education and the Workforce Committee will meet on Tuesday to mark up the bill.
The new proposal would bar institutions that have policies allowing single-sex social organizations for students from requiring those groups to “admit as a member an individual who does not meet the organization’s criteria for single-sex status.” Institutions would not be allowed to restrict access to campus housing, deny leadership positions in other campus organizations, or withhold financial assistance from members of the single-sex groups.
