Judge upholds dismissal of feminist professor at Boston College
A Middlesex Superior Court judge ruled that Boston College acted within its rights to keep Mary Daly from listing feminist courses open to men. Daly, 70, had barred male students from her classes since 1966, arguing gendered seminars disrupted dynamics.
