It's Not Over Until We SAY It's Over
-
Sweet Briar College is closing, which is a surprise. It's had financial trouble, but they just dedicated a fancy new library, and they had the reputation of being a rich girls' school. The recently-installed president of the school is insisting it's over, although alumni are raising funds to save it. The larger question, though, is what role single-sex colleges play in 2015 society. Is there a value to it? (I went to an all-male college that was in the process of transitioning to co-ed while I was there; our sister school, Bryn Mawr, is one of the last holdouts and is still all-female.)
