We've all heard of women wanting to get into West Point; how about men wanting to get into St. Hilda's?

Students at this last women's college in Oxford have voted to allow men in...although the vote was quite close.

Opponents of the decision say they will continue to fight, lamenting resulting drawbacks such as limited hiring of female professors and lecturers.

From the Education Guardian:Claire Lynch, the president of the middle common room, which represents postgraduate students at the college, said St Hilda's had not kicked up enough of a fuss about the funding arrangements for lecturers with the university.

She said only 8.6% of professors and 23% of lecturers at Oxford were female and it was important to have a group of female role models running a college. "Not just outstanding women, but women who are successful, who teach, publish and have families - that's a powerful for us to be part of the college," said Ms Lynch.
What do you think? Should all educational institutionslinks provide equal opportunities for any student to attend? Or is tradition just as important?
