Probably Fred could transfer and remain within the terms of the will, but he likes where he is - he's also a fan of rooftops, and there are plenty of accessible roofs around campus. Plus he enjoys his adversarial relationship with the academic counselors.
Burgess is pretty good on women counting as people, I think? His selection is dude-heavy, but nearly always good, and when it's bad it's not usually because the female characters are poorly handled. The big major exception (imo) is For Whom the Bell Tolls where the love interest is awful (imo) but not necessarily worse than many of the male characters. Braine's women characters are viewed through a heavy lens of cynicism, but they do about as well as anyone can hope to under those conditions.
