The dress-wearing ban is aimed at a small part of the private college's 2,700-member student body, said Dr. William Bynum, vice president for Student Services.
"We are talking about five students who are living a gay lifestyle that is leading them to dress a way we do not expect in Morehouse men," he said.

Again, one has to ask WHY they have instituted the ban on men wearing women's clothes.?
Is it for the 5 men who do?  Will this now make them into "Morehouse men".

My guess is the ban will solidify the crossdressers desire and will to challenge gender roles in our culture.  But the ban was instituted so the University higher-ups would not be "embarrassed" by crossdressers on their fine campus.
Ahh, we still have a ways to go to escape the Victorian age.

Looks like this was a chance to attempt to hide what they wanted to do to the crossdressers amongst a bunch of other restrictions.  Shame on them.  It did not work.  Actually I am surprised that there are any all-male colleges even left.

This school gets a two out of a possible two middle fingers for its ruling.

Are they insinuating that there is a link between homosexuality and cross dressing or are those fellows actually gay :S
And who were they hurting? What's next, breathing laws? Piffle.
