This lawsuit is ridiculous

Thank You ACLU, let us have co-ed dorms with the doors open all damn night! DA! Someone can in a co-ed dorm can come in to a room and do what ever!

Yeah, co-ed dorms are the signal that our society is going to hell in a handbasket.

Like Lady Pi Phi, I lived in co-ed dorms for the entire time I was an undergrad. We didn't have anyone to check in residents at the dorm door--we just had to swipe in at the door and we were fine. Same for our guests. The RAs had nothing to do with letting in students.

Nothing of this sort happened in my four years. This was an isolated incident at the hands of two savage, insane "men". Occasionally, there was a laptop theft or two, but that was more based on the carelessness of students leaving their doors open than any major security breach on the part of the University.

Besides, co-ed dorms mainly came about as a result of extreme gender inbalances in some universities. They couldn't justify keeping a men's-only dorm 45% full, where the women's housing was bursting at the seams. Hence, co-ed dorms. The social changes of the 60s and 70s had something to do with it as well, but in many places, sheer numbers dictated the way things had to be--not the ACLU or some such organization.

So, some lawsuit is in order--against the perpetrators, not every single party listed.
