Daily Talker: Wesleyan Frats Told To Admit Women

Officials at Wesleyan University in Connecticut have told fraternities that they must admit female members by 2017 or risk losing their recognition at the school.  In a campus-wide email, the school says "if the organizations are to continue to be recognized as offering housing and social spaces for Wesleyan students, women as well as men must be full members and well-represented in the body and leadership of the organization."  The news comes after several troubling incidents at the school, including a lawsuit filed by a female student who claimed she was raped at a fraternity, and another female student who was critically hurt after falling from a third-story window at the same fraternity.  What do you think of the school's decision to require fraternities to admit female members?
