Professor targets MSU in civil rights complaint

Article here. Excerpt:

'A University of Michigan-Flint professor has filed a civil rights complaint against Michigan State University over its women's study lounge.

But the lounge, located on the first floor of the MSU Student Union, won’t be restricted when it reopens later this summer, according to MSU spokesman Jason Cody. The lounge is currently being converted into an all-purpose quiet study area, accessible to all students.

But that doesn’t mean MSU is off the hook, said Mark Perry, the University of Michigan-Flint economics professor who filed the complaint in July.

“I think MSU owes an apology to the thousands of men whose civil rights have been violated,” Perry said, noting that men were previously not allowed to use the public space.'
