TTC Extra: Women-Only Lounge at Michigan State
Clip: 7/29/2016 | 4m 16s
A women-only lounge goes gender-neutral.
After pressure from a male professor and the media, Michigan State University shut down a long-standing women-only study lounge. Some women said it was one of the few places they could feel safe on campus, but the professor and other critics of "safe spaces" said it violated men's civil rights.
