Reminds me of America's first woman doctor Elizabeth Blackwell. The school required a unanimous vote by the students for her to be accepted into medical school and the mad lads actually did it.
The dean and faculty, usually responsible for evaluating an applicant for matriculation, were not able to make a decision due to the special nature of Blackwell's case. They put the issue up to a vote by the 150 male students of the class with the stipulation that if one student objected, Blackwell would be turned away. The young men voted unanimously to accept her.

Additional fun fact: she didn't even know she was on the ballot until later
