St. Anne's College

St. Anne's College, Oxford is an Oxford University constituent college that integrated men beginning in 1979, used in the lecture to illustrate how moral objections are disguised as utilitarian arguments.

The St. Anne's College anecdote — in which dons who morally opposed overnight male guests invented cost-benefit arguments about the price of breakfast — illustrates Sandel's point that people often dress up moral intuitions in utilitarian clothing to avoid stating their real reasons.
