The District of Columbia’s Office of Human Rights released a statement saying that the Catholic University of America’s single-sex dorm policy does not violate D.C. anti-discrimination laws. A professor at George Washington University, John Banzhaf, had filed a complaint with the agency over Catholic University’s decision to house male and female students in separate dorms starting this semester. According to the Washington Post:
On Tuesday, the office dismissed his complaint, writing that single-sex dorms are not discriminatory because they don’t treat men and women differently. The order says that under Banzhaf’s reasoning, the university would be forced to abandon single-sex sports teams, locker rooms and bathrooms.
