Peace College makes some radical changes
Posted on Jul 25, 2011 by JRF
Challenging women to adventures in learning and life.
Next year, Peace College will begin admitting men as full time students. For more than a century, Peace has been a women only school, but in 2009 men were allowed to take night and online classes.
After Debra Townsley accepted the role of president, there has been further restructuring of programs and staff changes/cuts, and another drastic shift is imminent – allowing men to be full time students.
Current students held a peaceful protest on campus, and Meredith College President Jo Allen said her school would continue its tradition of women only education.
What are your thoughts? Is this a smart move to keep the college relevant, accessible, and financially stable or are they just compromising the school’s core purpose of helping women become strong leaders in today’s society?

Shame on WILLIAM PEACE COLLEGE! This should be open to all. How do you think the men currently attending yhe school feel after the rude protest happening by the women? Disgrace! This should have all be debated BEFORE the change occured... not after. BAD TASTE.
