I have a question foy you, since you're savy on this stuff. Could you provide me with a resource for developing policy. Specificlly, I'm interested in how to establish the right to exclusion. I imagine that 'by invitation only' is one way, but that's obviously not a working solution for ASC, we need to generate interest among students and faculty who qualify for membership, initially, and then branch out into recruiting among individuals who are allready IS and NS professionals. That being an 'off campus' internal activity. Just not too sure how the average GLO avoids risk from disgruntled individuals who believe they should not have been excluded from membership.

Dfran, just a heads up. This is a generalization, but Title IX prohibits educational institutions from discriminating on the basis of sex or allowing discrimination on the basis of sex. Failure to abide by this prohibition puts the educational institution in jeopardy of losing federal funds, including financial aid for students. An exception is made for student organizations that are social in nature.
What this means for GLOs is that Title IX requires professional fraternities to be co-ed if they want to have college or university recognition. The reasoning is that, because the GLO has the purpose of furthering the professional development of its members, that opportunity must be available to males and females alike. Unless an educational institution is going to be completely free of federal aid, the only single-sex GLOs that it can allow are social GLOs. And it is the United Stated Department of Education, not the GLO itself, that makes the call whether the group is "social" or "professional" for the purposes of Title IX.
You may have already thought through this, but I thought I'd throw the idea out to you. Good luck with ASC!!
