PREVIEW WOMEN'S LOUNGE

Michigan State University’s women's-lounge has been around since 1925 and is considered a safe haven for female students. The sign outside the door states it’s importance to the women of MSU, it “has long been a quiet secure place for women. It is a safe refuge and serves as a haven for reflection, study and solitude.” The lounge has been loved for almost a century and sadly is closing its doors this coming school year. For U of M-Flint Professor, Mark Perry, has recently filed a complaint against the lounge, stating that it violates the civil rights of male students.  The complaint is currently under investigation and the lounge is being converted into an all gender study area. MSU students are overwhelmed with sadness to see the lounge shut down. “This is so disappointing that someone that has no affiliation with MSU would target the women's study lounge where I and so many other women actually feel comfortable to study,” Carley Ford, MSU senior, said. “Very sad to see the Women’s Study Lounge go”
