Caving to Student Pressure, University Agrees to Build Study Lounge… Segregated by Sexuality

Officials at the University of Oklahoma have officially taken the idea of separate-but-equal to a new level.

According to The Oklahoma Daily, the school’s student newspaper, the administration plans on making a new student lounge just for LGBT students at the school’s Norman campus.

The idea for the new area, according to the Daily, came from an OU group called “Queer Inclusion on Campus,” which bills itself as a group of students advocating for the inclusion of LGBTQ+ policy on campus.

According to the article, the group recently submitted a 20-page report to the administration with its requests. While it originally wanted a resource center, the study lounge came about as a result of a compromise between the group and administrators.
