The Title IX exemption just means federal law doesn't require social fraternities and soroties to be co-ed if they want to be recognized by a school that receives federal funds. Wesleyan can still chose to only recognize co-ed GLOs.

And yes, Psi U already has co-ed chapters. They have a "local option" on that.

Honestly, there are lots of things that happen that are illegal and infringing on rights . . . .

Wesleyan is a private school. Infringing on rights doesn't even enter the equation.

I wasn't speaking of Wesleyan specifically, just in general.

As mentioned, Psi U does have several co-ed chapters. The interesting thing actually is that a situation very similar to this one is the reason Psi U has that "local option."

False equivalence.

Except for that pesky Universalizability thing that guy Kant talked about....
