Notre Dame of Maryland University, a private institution in Baltimore, said it will begin admitting male students to its traditional women-only undergraduate program starting in fall 2023, a shift that has surprised some students and faculty.
Once NDMU makes the shift to coed, there will be 29 colleges in the United States and one in Canada with women-only programs, according to The Women’s College Coalition. Many others have closed or decided to admit men in recent decades, the organization said.
The university had about 2,200 students in fall 2021, including about 800 undergraduates, according to federal data. Fenster said faculty are upset with the decision-making process. “There was no consulting and no transparency,” he said. Many professors canceled classes on the Baltimore-based college campus after the decision, according to student organizers, Hancock and Alexandria Malinowski.
Kamiya Britton, a 2022 graduate, believes the decision to go coed will alter the conversations that take place on campus and cause women to be less comfortable.“Women come to Notre Dame to be a part of a women’s community that embraces women and their unique qualities,” Britton said.
