Harvard Implements Women-Only Workouts
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (WBZ) ― A Harvard University recreation center will be open for women only for about 4 hours each week so Muslim women won’t have to exercise in front of Muslim men.
It’s a plan that has been in the works for awhile, school officials said.
But some students said they feel the policy goes too far.
“For a college to deny half the campus a resource after tuition has been paid and after they have already come to the college seems unfair,” said student Lucy Caldwell.
The women’s-only workout is just a pilot program currently. Attendance has been low so far.
