	Coeducation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Coeducation is the integrated education of men and women at the same school facilities; co-ed is a shortened adjectival form of co-educational.
		The first coeducational institution of higher education in the United States was Franklin College in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, established in 1787.
		The longest continuously operating coeducational school in the United States is Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio, which was established in 1833.

	"Anything But Cordial": Coeducation and West Virginia University's Early Women (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
		Coeducation appears in Ambler's 1951 History of Education in West Virginia as a subsection within a potpourri of 1890s topics labelled "Miscellaneous." William T. Doherty in his 1982 university history dramatically highlighted women's historic status as a minority population averaging only 30 percent on campus.
		It took two more decades for proponents to carry the day for coeducation, and they did so, as did their counterparts in other states, not because they stood fast on democratic principle, but because principal was lacking in institutional coffers.
		Emerging scholarship on the barrier-breaking generation of women in both coeducational and single-sex universities reveals that the emotional distress from rigors of living with discrimination and graduating into an equally hostile job market was not uncommon.

	Rosenberg: Coeducation History
		Though advocates of coeducation achieved some success in the antebellum period, their most important gains came in the wake of the Civil War, a war that left unprecedented numbers of young women faced with the necessity of supporting themselves.
		Supporters of coeducation often argued that the presence of women would have a civilizing effect on male students, but that contention ignored the reality of strongly entrenched male traditions combined with the fact that men made up a large majority of the student bodies at coeducational schools.
		One of the biggest problems suffered by coeducational institutions, suddenly convinced of the need to enforce sexual segregation in student life, was that they did not have enough dormitory space to house all their students.

	Coeducation Revisited for the 21st Century
		I believe that coeducation has been and continues to be a serious mistake because it generally ignores the radical differences between men and women in their biology, physiology, psychology, and in their proper roles in contemporary society and the family.
		Much of the problems with coeducational schools vis-a-vis education is simply a question of male dominance that appears to be inevitable and constant according to all the studies.
		Coeducation is largely taken by the immense majority of the populace as normal, natural and necessary, although increasingly almost all the evidence is to the contrary.

	"Coeducation Profits Females" by Alice Keating
		They also believed coeducation had a positive influence during the difficult period for girls in early adolescence; they also believed that each sex learns to play every role in society if forced to do so in a unisex environment.
		Coeducation facilitates a microcosm of the real world where valuable social skills can be taught.
		Student A, a coeducated female, with moderate controlled self-esteem, competitive math scores, individual attention, positive self image, campaigning talent, and social development is better off than Student B, an unisex educated female, with lower self-esteem, non-competitive math scores, poorly specialized attention, nonexistent self-image, spoon fed roles, and weak socialization development.

	Coeducation at Haverford: A Forced Revolution
		The series of about 10 years before a Haverford female student would unpack her belongings in her room to settle down for four years of an intense and demanding education, both in and out of the classroom, was a time of much reevaluation and consideration on the part of the students, administration, and faculty.
		Coeducation had been a topic of interest on Haverford's campus during the 1960's but larger concerns over international political affairs as well as domestic political movements had overshadowed the more localized topic.
		Prior to Haverford's coeducation decision, Bryn Mawr was able to remain respected as a College without the definition as a "women's school." This is due to a commonly accepted definition of women's schools: women's schools were where women went to think like men.

	The View From Here: Coeducation
		As quality institutions across the nation began to admit women as early at the late 1950s and most had at least made plans to coeducate by the mid-1960s, the University of Virginia began feeling the pressure to keep the pace with their peer institutions.
		While this court case did not force the University to coeducate (the Woody Commission already recommended to admit women), it did alter the way the University admitted women.
		The four women were also given a temporary injunction to study in the College in the fall of 1969 instead of waiting for the formal arrival of women in the fall of 1970.

	Catholic Culture : Document Library : Coeducation Revisited for the 21st Century
		Coeducation is less expensive, requiring fewer classes, buildings, teachers, etc. Second, he cites the theory that coeducation provides a more harmonious relationship between the sexes analogous to family life.
		One can see that coeducation must have already been making inroads in the Catholic schools, as well as in general society, for the matter to be of sufficient import to be addressed.
		Character training is harder in the case of girls with boys, although the contrary belief is generally held; for, as things are today, the girl must be prepared for two eventualities-for motherhood, with all that it involves, and for the life of an independent wage earner.

	Schlesinger Library: Chapter One
		Coeducation as a theory, however, was simply something that was not on the table, something that Harvard had historically opposed.Buck and Comstock may have personally wanted to merge classrooms, but if they did, they were too politically savvy to suggest such an abrupt shift at the university in 1943.
		Coeducation, Harvard feared, was a synonym for the melding of the spheres, which the university attempted to mitigate by framing merged courses as "joint instruction."
		Coeducation at Harvard and Radcliffe would have meant the elimination of one college and the full assumption of responsibility by the other -- hence the popular description of the actual relationship as "coeducation in practice, not theory." In practice, Harvard allowed women to enter its classes, but paid them little heed otherwise.

		Coeducation was only possible by the restructuring of century old attitudes, such as this, about women's capabilities and responsibilities.
		Coeducation at Beloit was discussed on and off from the 1870s until 1895 but it did not receive serious consideration until about 1893.
		One of the main arguments against coeducation at Beloit and around the country was that the women would "lure" the men away from their studies.

	Executive Summary -- Single-Sex Versus Coeducation Schooling: A Systematic Review (2005)
		A number of theoretical advantages to both coeducational (CE) and single-sex (SS) schools have been advanced by their advocates, a subset of whom have focused specifically on the potential benefits of SS schooling for disadvantaged males who have poor success rates in the educational system.
		Another example would be a finding favoring single-sex in a 10th-grade sample and coeducation in a 12th-grade sample for the same outcome variable within a single study.
		It should also be kept in mind that some researchers evaluated multiple outcome variables in their research; therefore, it is possible that a single published study would yield information that appears in multiple rows of the Summary Table.

		Durkee said the school's commitment to coeducation by the fall was expedited by a healthy dose of competitive worries when Yale made its own coeducation announcement that same spring.

	Co-Education (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
		Girls attending coeducational schools tend not to speak up in class in deference to male peers.
		There is, in fact, no conclusive evidence to support the idea that girls in single-sex schools outperform their peers in coeducational settings (including the areas of math and science) or that they enjoy a higher level of overall self-esteem or self-confidence.
		Respondents were asked to rank the importance of coeducation in the choice to attend St. John’s on a scale of 1 – 10 (with 10 being most important and 1, not important at all).

	Virginia Scott Challenges the University's Admission Policy on Coeducation (1969)
		hough the fight for coeducation at the University of Virginia started in the 1890s, it was only in 1969 that the undergraduate College of Arts and Sciences opened its doors to women on an equal footing with men, after Virginia Anne Scott and three other young Charlottesville women successfully sued the University for gender discrimination.
		The issue of admitting women into the graduate and professional schools rose for the first time in 1895 but the UVA administration decided against it because they thought that gaining higher education would "physically unsex" the women and cause them to lose their power in the home.
		The University knew that it would have to address the issue of coeducation because by this time Virginia was one of the last states to sanction gender discrimination in its publicly funded universities.

	The Doane Stuart School - Coeducation
		Their forward-looking commitment to coeducation remains a cornerstone of the Doane Stuart experience to this day, as we maintain gender equity among our students in their academic and extracurricular activities, ensuring that boys and girls alike have consistent and fair opportunities to excel.

		For us, coeducation is another facet of our commitment to diversity; it is the belief that you are a richer, better educated person if you have learned to see the world through the perspective of people unlike yourself, whether they are of different gender, religion, race, or background.
