Few, if any, schools this size have 26 Rhodes Scholars. Since the last 2 were women, I fail to see how women could not be treated as equals, if not the other way around.

Elliott Wallace McNiel over 2 years ago Elliott Wallace McNiel


The university was in no way prepared to admit women in 1969. I find the arrogance to this day astounding. Shame on you for paying women professors less than men. I see nothing has changed. The university may admit more women than men, but they are still not seen as equals.
