Yes, they have the right to do it, but if they are getting ANY money from me, I want it stopped, and right now. I would not be concerned about this with single sex institutions or the HBCUs because their goals are different, and IMHO, valid. But unfortunately, if it was all or nothing, I'd have to go with nothing. The all-women and HBCU schools can find the funding somewhere, just as the deeply conservative Christian schools can.
As noted above, can we please stop confusing the extremists as having normal behavior for a sub-set of people?

Also, I feel that a student should have a choice in their education without being punished via less funding for choosing a spesific type of accredited university.
