Harvard already hit with petition campaign to dump its new rules against single-sex clubs

'Harvard has awoken a tiger with its new rules that ban fraternities, sororities and “final clubs” from leading athletic teams, holding leadership positions and even getting endorsements for top fellowships.

The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education has started a petition campaign against Harvard’s “blacklist” of students in single-sex organizations, asking President Drew Faust to “restore freedom of association” for Harvard students:

"All of these organizations have been independent of Harvard since 1984, operate as off-campus entities, and do not receive any recognition or benefit from the university.

Harvard’s stunning attack on its students’ right to freedom of association directly undermines its core values, categorically denying students important benefits and opportunities on the sole basis of their maintaining officially disfavored private associations."

FIRE also said it is “preparing a formal response.”'
