(Formerly 73-6)
The Board reaffirms the policy for the University of Wisconsin System that prohibits participation in, support for, or sanction of activities which discriminate on the basis of sex, when in fact, no exception can be allowed except on the basis of a bona fide physical dichotomy, and in the event the Interstate Oratorical Association continues to divide its oratorical competitions into a "Men's Contest" and a "Women's Contest," the membership of any University of Wisconsin System unit in such Association shall be withdrawn.
