Crosspost "Campus effectively removed all Men's restrooms, Administration is dragging its feet acknowledging there is a problem" from /r/legaladvice:

New York State, United States

​

So essentially with few exceptions, every male restroom on my campus has been converted into an "All-Gender" restroom. This sort of makes sense given that they are the only existing restrooms which contain both stalls and urinals. The problem herein lies that in addition to new signs on the doors, the primary door to the restroom has been equipped with a vacancy/occupied lock which locks from the inside. Essentially allowing a single individual (if they choose) to lock a bathroom with facilities accommodating up to 8 people at one time, reducing it to a single use restroom. On numerous occasions men have had to leave lecture halls and travel to other buildings with the hope that the All-Gender restroom in that building has not been locked also.

I've brought this issue to our school's department of diversity and equity where after 3 weeks of obfuscation I've managed to meet with with the department head and have a conversation with her, where I've essentially been told to shove it.

Is there any sort of Federal or NYS legislation with which I can bring to their attention and try to instigate real change?

Edit: In less than an hour I've found the solution I've been looking for. Thanks Reddit, you beautiful Oyster
