The leading Modern Orthodox rabbinic association has adopted an official position against the ordination of women while also encouraging the creation of “halakhically and communally appropriate professional opportunities” for female scholars.
Members of the Rabbinical Council of America adopted the resolution during their three-day conference that began Sunday in Scarsdale, N.Y.
For more information on this subject, and on the history of ordination of women as rabbis, see Women Who Would Be Rabbis by Pamela S. Nadell (Beacon Press: 1998)
Regina Jonas was the first woman ever to be ordained as a (reform) rabbi - in 1935.
Avakesh comments: Basically this is a NO. However, RCA did not say that they will expel members who ordain women. The next step is up to Rabbi Weiss.
