Why is Harvard trying to Ban Single Gender Finals Clubs?


Harvard, the worldly famous university, is about to make an enormous decision.
Harvard’s exclusive single-sex social clubs, known as “final clubs, have been the center of Harvard's elitism and symbol of wealth from the 1790's. Unlike the image society has with them, the club was formerly made by a group of men who were tired of the food helpings provided by the university. However, there is no trace to what was the founding reason of the club now as the final clubs have now become the problem of the school. The final clubs are now the place for women to be sexually assaulted. It is reported that 47 percent of the women who participated in final club activities experienced “non-consensual sexual contact.”
It is no wonder that the final clubs, which mostly are the names of all men clubs, do not allow women to join the club. If there are women in the final clubs, there will be less chances of the horrible men assaulting women.
