wow you really nailed your first point with the muslims and sex segregation.
I just have a few points to add to the representative sample:
- were all the students surveyed in their final year at the college (if so they have gone through 4 yrs of college with female-only environment, probably hard for them to imagine co-ed)
- is the student government biased on their survey?

For the alumni: (similar to what you've mentioned)
- are the ones in favour the ones that are contributing monetarily to the school

One more point that i think is hard to attack but should probably be touched up is the fact that 80% of the current faculty voted FOR co-ed. Is the opinion of active faculty less important than alumni or students? they are afterall the one's running the place and giving lectures. Their morales may be lowered if the majority of them want to change the school to co-ed.

This was a pretty tricky topic. It was so convincing on the first read that i had to read it a few times.
