Harvard Accommodates Muslim Women In Setting Gym Hours
The AP yesterday reported that Harvard University has taken a step to accommodate Muslim women by setting setting six hours a week as women-only hours at one of its gyms. The policy-- which applies to only one of the university's less-used gyms-- is controversial even among some women on campus. Harvard Crimson writer Lucy Caldwell published a column last month criticizing the University's decision. It's subtitle is one that would probably appear only in a college newspaper-- "Women-only Hours at the QRAC Constitute a Pareto Inefficient Policy".
