Finance Accounting Real Estate Venture Capital Engineering Management/Project Management General Engineering Careers Computer Science #StandUpToHarvard Moves Forward Second Court Dismisses Harvard's Challenge to Prejudiced Policy B ack in December 2018, a pair of lawsuits challenging a Harvard sanctions policy that punishes students who join off-campus, single-sex social organizations were filed by sororities, fraternities, and Harvard students. The lawsuits describe how Harvard used a campaign of threats and intimidation to scare students into abandoning their fundamental rights to free association and to live free of sex discrimination. In early January 2020, a state court judge denied Harvard's motion to dismiss sororities' legal challenge to Harvard's policy punishing students who participate in single-sex organizations. "This decision recognizes what we've long known to be true: that sorority members have rights to freedom of association and should be free from sex discrimination," said Emma Quinn-Judge of Zalkind Duncan & Bernstein LLP, a lawyer for the plaintiffs. This is the second court to dismiss Harvard's challenge to the ongoing lawsuits. It concluded there was sufficient evidence indicating Harvard restricted students' constitutionally protected rights. Following the news, Dani Weatherford, CEO of the National Panhellenic Conference, and Judson Horras, CEO of the North American Interfraternity Conference, released a joint statement. "For a second time, a court has found what is obvious to nearly anyone who's looked at this case: There is considerable evidence that Harvard's policies have violated the rights of its students and done unique harm to women's spaces in particular. "It is now long-past time for Harvard to repeal this discriminatory policy. Instead of enforcing a policy that tramples students' rights at Harvard, we hope the university will join us in productive dialogue about building a healthy and more inclusive campus culture."
