Daily Debriefing
As the proportion of female applicants to selective colleges increases, the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights is investigating whether undergraduate admissions processes discriminate against women to ensure an even gender distribution in their student bodies, The Chronicle of Higher Education reported. Title IX, the federal law that enforces gender equity, forbids gender-based discrimination at colleges and universities, except for private colleges that are not professional or technical institutions, according to The Chronicle. The commission will first determine whether preferences for male applicants exist and then look into the consequences of certain aspects of Title IX to see whether it is responsible for some of the inequity, according to The Chronicle.

The Coed Response
Upon reading the latest Mirror column by Matthew Ritger '10 ("The Gospel According to Matthew," Oct. 30), my initial inclination as a Dartmouth student was to write a scathing, sarcastic, point-by-point rebuttal of his most recent verbal effluent. It is tempting to address Ritger's column with a string of ad hominem attacks. As Coed Council president, however, I feel it is necessary to respond in a manner consistent with those responsibilities, and present an official response to Ritger's misguided remarks.
Hayek in the Basement
