BOSTON (Reuters) – Harvard University on Monday acknowledged it would discontinuance its protection of sanctioning college students who joined single-intercourse golf equipment, citing a lawsuit by a community of U.S. fraternities and sororities who acknowledged the crackdown amounted to sexual discrimination.

Harvard President Lawrence Bacow acknowledged it seemed certain the Ivy League college would lose the lawsuit following a landmark U.S. Supreme Court docket ruling preserving that a federal legislation barring place of job discrimination protects homosexual and transgender workers.

Bacow in an electronic mail to varsity and college students acknowledged Harvard’s protection on single-intercourse golf equipment did no longer downside sexual orientation and used to be adopted to counteract “overt” discrimination by which college students had been excluded from groups per their gender.

But he acknowledged the Supreme Court docket’s June 15 choice had “necessary implications” for Harvard’s protection, as it upheld a decision a Boston federal deem in August relied upon in allowing the lawsuit in opposition to the faculty to transfer forward.

Harvard stopped formally recognizing single-intercourse golf equipment in 1984. But groups known as “final golf equipment,” informal social golf equipment a student joins sooner than graduating, to boot to some fraternities and sororities continued to operate off campus.

The protection at field used to be adopted in 2016 and first enforced with the 2017 freshman class.

Below it, college students who joined single-intercourse golf equipment couldn’t wait on as captains of sports teams or leaders of officially acknowledged student golf equipment and would possibly perchance perchance no longer acquire endorsement letters from college deans for postgraduate fellowships.

The fraternities Sigma Chi and Sigma Alpha Epsilon and the sororities Kappa Alpha Theta and Kappa Kappa Gamma sued in 2018, asserting Harvard used to be discriminating in opposition to college students on the basis of their intercourse.

U.S. District Clutch Nathaniel Gorton allowed the lawsuit to transfer forward, finding it plausibly alleged Harvard used to be discriminating per gender as it barred males nonetheless no longer ladies from joining all-male golf equipment and vice versa.
