Virginia women’s college institutes new policy to keep college for women only, barring men
Article here. Excerpt:
'A private women’s college in Virginia announced that it would no longer allow males to join beginning in the Fall 2025 semester.
Sweet Briar College’s Chair of the Board of Director Mason B. Rummel and its President Mary Pope M. Hutson announced the change in an email to the community this August. The college leaders explained the policy changes as a result of the will of the school founder, Indiana Fletcher Williams.
More specifically, Williams’s will mandated that Sweet Briar would be an institution for “girls and young women,” something that the college’s leadership notes “must be interpreted as it was understood at the time the Will was written”--meaning that men who “identify” as women could not be accepted into the women’s college.'
