Students, faculty and administration gathered to discuss why the sign for the first-floor bathroom in Baker Hall was changed from “gender-inclusive” to just for “women.”

Held in the University of Massachusetts Commonwealth Honors College Event Hall by the University Bathroom and Restroom Committee on Tuesday, the town hall-style meeting was intended to address why the bathroom—which is on the Spectrum LGBTQIA and Ally Floor in Baker—was re-signed and any steps that can be taken to resolve the issue.

Jean MacKimmie, Director of Residence Education for UMass Residential Life, led the meeting, beginning with an apology.

“We should have and could have communicated with members of the community last spring,” MacKimmie said. “I believe there are things that could’ve been done differently.”

University toilets are so far underused. There should be regular dunkings of SJW faces, for either one flush or two... or in some cases maybe even three. It depends on the particular SJW.

I’m so confused over what bathroom to use I think I’ll just take a piss behind a bush in front of Baker Hall .

I would love to shower with the womens’ volleyball and basketball teams after their practices or games. However, I would be fired for trying!

A Bathroom and Restroom Committee.

So very Stalinesque.

Do they also have a Left-handed Hand Tool Committee, or a Hallway Carpet Committee?

And a “University Bathroom and Restroom Committee”

I made a mistake in posting that photo as it was not until afterward I noted there is some blatant nudity (and I don't means rears). So I expect a moderator to catch on and delete it.

However, the basic message in the photo is that men and women can coexist in the shower with no issues (which I don't believe). You put young adults together like that, things are going to happen, especially with the “no responsibility” mindset of half our population.
