Yale Suing Connecticut To Gain Gender-Neutral Bathrooms

Yale University is suing the state of Connecticut. The school wants to bypass state building code to make more of the restrooms at its law school gender-neutral.

Connecticut building code says a certain number of restrooms in every building should be assigned by gender. Yale requested an exemption earlier this year – some students said they were uncomfortable using gender-specific restrooms, and wanted more restrooms for gender-nonconforming students. The state denied their request.

The state said Yale could build new restrooms if it wants. But the university says it doesn’t have the space and doesn’t want to alter its historic law school building.

He fell in love with sound-rich radio storytelling while working as an assistant reporter at KBIA public radio in Columbia, Missouri. Before coming back to radio, he worked in digital journalism as the editor of Newtown Patch. As a freelance reporter, his work for WSHU aired nationally on NPR. Davis is a proud graduate of the University of Missouri School of Journalism; he started in Missouri and ended up in Connecticut, which, he'd like to point out, is the same geographic trajectory taken by Mark Twain.
