Proposed women-only gym space at U. Texas ‘would not survive a legal challenge,’ Title IX expert says

Article here. Excerpt:

'Fifty-five years ago, the University of Texas-Austin desegregated its dormitories and dining facilities, allowing black students equal access.

But segregation in the name of safe spaces has become popular on the political left, and one UT student is proposing a separate campus space for women to get exercise.

Daily Texan columnist Sanika Nayak pitched the idea for a female-only “women’s center” in Gregory Gym, the public university’s largest workout facility, in a December column.

“Oftentimes, it can be difficult for some female students to go to the gym” because it “can be seen as an overly masculine place, and women may feel alienated or intimidated as a result,” Nayak wrote.

It wouldn’t be the first time a college has restricted workout space on the basis of sex or gender identity.'
