Female College Leaders Criticize Augusta’s Male-Only Membership

The male-only membership at Augusta National Golf Club, home to the Masters Tournament, has drawn the ire of female college presidents, who are leading increasing numbers of prestigious schools in the U.S.

“It’s just an embarrassment that it’s still all male,” said Debora Spar, president of Barnard College in New York. “Any argument that can be made anymore for male-only recreational sites is just kind of past its day.”
