Yet another turn in the campus separatism craze. Yale University has denied the request of five orthodox Jewish students who do not want to live in campus dormitories. The students compare the atmosphere in the dorms to that of Sodom—repellent to their own code of sexual modesty and abstinence—so they sought to opt out of Yale's requirement to live in the dorms, immersed in the "community of scholars." As one astute history professor pointed out, "The university would be in chaos if it bent over backwards to accommodate everyone's sensitivities."
