Today a judge refused to block the admission of males to the currently all-female Wells College, despite a lawsuit filed by two current students. The small school is currently losing money as a result of declining enrollment, and its trustees hope admitting men will pump up enrollment and flow cash into the school's flagging endowment, thereby hardening the school's future.

The plaintiffs, Lauren Searle-Lebel and Jennifer LaBarbera, claimed that the school was in breach of contract and had committed fraud. They argued in court that men would hinder their ability to excel in classes such as "Introductory Donut Grinding" and "Comparative Carpet Munching."
