衛(wèi)斯理大學(xué)：對兄弟會是歧視還是寬容?
    出國留學(xué)網(wǎng)訊 美國衛(wèi)斯理大學(xué)規(guī)定其兄弟會必須接受女會員，對此兄弟會成員提出申訴，稱那是校方的一種歧視行為。具體過程請看下文!
    After a series of scandals at fraternities on campus, officials at Wesleyan University in Connecticut ordered frats to admit women as members — or shut down.
    鑒于衛(wèi)斯理大學(xué)兄弟會的一系列校園丑聞，該校管理者命令兄弟會成員允許女生的加入，否則就將其關(guān)閉。
    At Wesleyan, Delta Kappa Epsilon is fighting back. They’re saying the mandate is sexual discrimination, from a university that promotes tolerance. The local chapter and its alumni organization sued the Wesleyan administration.
    衛(wèi)斯理大學(xué)學(xué)生Delta Kappa Epsilon正對此項規(guī)定做出反擊，聲稱它是性別歧視的表現(xiàn)，而這不應(yīng)該是一個提倡寬容的學(xué)校做的事情。同時其校友組織對衛(wèi)斯理行政部門提出了訴訟。
    At the heart of their complaint is the contention that Wesleyan not only tolerates but welcomes housing based on specific interests. Students are required to live on campus all four years and can choose single-sex dorms or special-interest housing, including the “Women of Color House,” the “Light House” for Christian students, “Turath House” for Muslim, Arab and Middle Eastern students, and the “Open House,” which describes itself as a “safe space for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Transsexual, Queer, Questioning, Flexural, Asexual, [We can't print this one!], Polyamorous, Bondage/Disciple, Dominance/ Submission, Sadism/Masochism (LGBTTQQFAGPBDSM) communities.”
    兄弟會成員的中心論點是：“學(xué)校原本就容忍一些特殊的興趣，學(xué)生可以選擇住在男生宿舍、女生宿舍，或者一些特殊宿舍，比如基督教徒宿舍等帶有宗教色彩的地方，還有像同性戀、雙性戀、變性人、多角戀等重口味的宿舍。”
    School officials have said they gave fraternities ample time to make changes but that Greek leadership was resistant. Fraternity leaders said their efforts to adapt were brushed aside and that they were blindsided by a new, fast-tracked timetable to go co-ed.
    學(xué)校官員說他們給了兄弟會充足的時間來改變，但其領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者一直抗拒。兄弟會領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者則說他們的努力學(xué)校都置之不理，就這樣突然地要求自己處在一個男女生都有的環(huán)境中。
    Will Croughan, a brother at DKE, writes about why the fraternity is suing:
    “Upon choosing to attend Wesleyan, I was excited to be playing football. I was happy that it was only an hour and a half from home. I thought I was attending a school that practiced tolerance of varying interests and beliefs.
    Unfortunately, as a member of a fraternity, I have found that this isn’t exactly the case.
    I will admit: I am white. I am male. I was born in Westchester County, N.Y. People may call that privileged if they’d like.
    The argument for coeducation of all-male fraternities is one with many faces. At first, it was suggested that fraternities promote sexual assault. Yet the university’s own safety report states that 13 out of 15 forced sexual assaults in 2013 occurred in the university’s own co-ed dorms.
    兄弟會成員Will Croughan指出：“在選擇衛(wèi)斯理大學(xué)的時候，我本以為自己會來到一個容忍各種興趣和信仰的學(xué)校，但我發(fā)現(xiàn)事實不是這樣。我承認(rèn)自己是男生，是白人，但因這樣就被稱作“占了優(yōu)勢”，隨便!讓兄弟會接受女會員這件事是需要再商量的。首先，學(xué)校官員說兄弟會提倡性侵犯，但學(xué)校2013年有十五分之十三的性侵案件都是在男女同住的宿舍中發(fā)生的。”
