Iftikhar contends that the commission exploited the change in ownership by forcing him to accept reduced hours when he applied for a new restaurant permit. He also says that he would not have bought Tommy’s if he knew that he would be forced to close early and lose a significant portion of his revenue, a loss that may ultimately force him to sell the business.

It’s that the most commonly expressed rationale for wanting the final clubs to change—that discrimination is bad, period—is one that not even the College accepts. There are other reasons for wanting final clubs to accept women. By receiving women as guests only, by depriving them of the benefits of membership, by creating an boys-only environment that encourages drunken lechery and perhaps even sexual assault—in all these ways, the arguments go, the final clubs...
