At one time, there was a monitor in all women's dormitories, and access was closed to males, except for fathers or dates, which waited in the lobby while the young woman was contacted that she had a guest. Feminists objected to such precautions as "sexist." Now KY and the nation pay the price for its lack of realism in monitoring college students.

My daughter attends Georgetown College. Two years ago a male broke into a girls room and was wiating when she returned. Luckily the girl was a member of the basketball team and could overpower him. He escaped and she chased him down and waited for help. My daughter now has a "little" surprise waiting for anyone who might happen to break into her room.

"We have to walk that fine line of (being) safe (and) secure but a place where young people still have their individuality and their freedom as young adults on a college campus,"
Individuality and freedom = Diversity in today's higher education.

Why? Because any man in the dorm would be immediately spotted. With co-ed dorms, it requires much more security as men are wandering around as a matter of course, so it is no big deal.
We haven't "improved" by having co-ed dorms. We have taken huge steps backwards and put the young women at risk!
