And these fraternities are housed on campus, as far as I can tell. The university is entitled to impose whatever requirements it likes on social clubs that use university property. And administrators are justified in taking a harsh stance against a category of clubs that have a long rap sheet for sexual assault, hazing, and extreme binge drinking. It would be unethical for administrators to not take action. As other posters have pointed out these rules are in fact liberal by university standards.

The traditional approach would be for the frats to move off campus if they don’t like the rules, but that’s not possible because Palo Alto, so instead they’re trying to do culture war special pleading in conservative media.
