Sexism at the Sperm Bank

To the editors:

Dan Aibel's column on the pros and cons of the "Sperm Bank Solution" (Jan. 21) prompts the question: What will the Deans do about such rampant sexism? A College that cannot tolerate single-sex final clubs surely can't abide female students being denied honest and lucrative work solely because of gender. Their exclusion from the job opportunities enjoyed by men makes mockery of the University's non-discrimination policy. One possibility: Let the bank stay, but persuade its employees--easy come, easy go--to deposit half their earnings in an endowment supporting honors research by female peers--seed money, so to speak.
