I
once served on the University Board off Trustees, and we had to deal with a
Title
IX case at the University at Buffalo.The rules are subject to legal

Actually, the "throw out" toward fraternities has been to "live-in" houses or
sports where there is some moral or health value to having single sex. No
court to date has not interpreted it to allow single sex in any other venue.
In fact, they have come out stongly against single sex, esp where business
contacts can be made. I would dare you to find any APO alumni who has not
made some business (direct or indirect contact out of APO, including using it
on their CV)
