Law Professor Gets Death Threats Over Pink Locker Room Buzuvis Says She'll Raise Issue Tuesday
POSTED: 6:06 pm CDT September 24, 2005 UPDATED: 5:34 am CDT September 26, 2005
DES MOINES, Iowa -- University of Iowa President David Skorton said threats sent to a law professor who objects to the pink visitors' locker rooms at Kinnick Stadium won't be tolerated.
Erin Buzuvis said she has received death threats for saying the color scheme promotes sexism and homophobia.
Skorton said "it is deeply offensive and completely unacceptable" that a public discussion about the locker rooms has been degraded by threats of violence. He has asked the Office of the General Counsel, the Office of Equal Opportunity and Diversity, and the Department of Public Safety to review the threats and to take appropriate actions.
The pink locker room goes back to the days of former Iowa coach Hayden Fry, and has been expanded in the current renovation of the stadium -- including the carpeting, metal lockers, brick walls, sinks, shower floor -- even the urinals.
Buzuvis said she will raise the issue on Tuesday when a committee seeks public comment on a report it recently compiled on the university's compliance with NCAA regulations.
The pink professor isn't listed as a member of Iowa's law faculty:

Homosexuals have group fantasies of martyrdom under the Reich. If you read Shirer's book (Shirer, BTW was a liberal) The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich tells us that the Nazi party was a haven for thugs, criminals and homosexuals.
In Eilie Weisel's book Night he writes about homosexual death camp guards preying on weaker men and children. The Nazis were known for their perversion so they were a perfect fit for the homosexuals.
I used to work at a company where the conference room decor was such that we would look at a blue wall while our "guests" would look at a pink wall. Useful for contract and other negotiations.
Are you saying that if you are showering in a pink locker room and you drop the soap . . . . . don't bend over to pick it up?????
That's why they make soap-on-a-rope............you can use it to defend yourself, too........
"...color scheme promotes sexism and homophobia."
Color promotes all that stuff?? Who woulda fiqured...pffft!!!!
I always shake my head when these liberal types blow in, want to change years of tradition in OTHER peoples lives, because they are morally superior, and are astounded when people hate them.
I shake my head in absolute disbelief...
..where on earth does one find pink urinals?
I don't know about the urnials, but they make pink urinal cakes :)
Death threats from the pink locker room? I get real live death threats about every day. I don't take them seriously and I certainly don't bother reporting them. Sounds like somebody needs a pink office.
