Free emphasized that she has no preconceived ideas about what the task force may find or of what the university's Board of Trustees might conclude. The task force has a deadline of March 31, 2017, to complete its research on the pros and cons of both options: remaining all women or admitting men. The Board of Trustees will then review that assessment at its May 2017 meeting. Free said she expects that if a decision to admit men goes forward, the earliest it would happen would be the fall of 2018.
