This day in UB History! Men Allowed To Register For All The WSC Courses Offered
By LAURA BARTLETT | Jan. 19, 2011All Women's Studies College (WSC) courses will now be open to men as well as women this semester. Faced with total elimination of five courses labeled "discriminatory" by the administration, WSC members decided to change the policy which formerly restricted enrollment in these classes to women only. The five courses are ? Women in Photography, Art Studio for Women, Women's Automotives, and Women in Contemporary Society 213 and 214. Upon directing Admissions and Records (A&R) to reinstate the courses into the computer, Executive Vice President Albert Somit instructed A&R Director Richard Dremek not to include a "Permission of Instructor" (PI) prerequisite. Despite the changes, WSC representative Abbe Tiger stressed that the College's position on all-women's classes has not altered.
