If men are banned from having their own spaces, women should get the same treatment.

This isn't the first time they tried, but it might be the try that gets it done. The current president of the school has said the name needs to be more inclusive as they are a coed school.

Proposed names

University of Northern Mississippi

West Appalachia University

University of Central Mississippi

University of Eastern Mississippi

Northern Mississippi University

Callaway State University

Weathersby State University

Williams State University

This has been tried at least twice already.

Both times large number of female alumni, staff and students protested against it.

Probably heard about the case against Texas Woman's University:

I’m confused. Is the university for women or not for women?

About time….

Be more inclusive of everyone. They’re very affordable maybe by doing this they will get more students.

How will the name them? "Persons with menstrual background?"

Except if both biological sexes are allowed, then it makes sense to change the name.

Thats the problem with making women only university. Imagine white only university. This (for good reason) wouldnt pass

The name needed to change, but they changed it to Brightwell, and no one liked it, so everyone went looking for reasons not to like it, and it turns out Brighwell means "Sex Addict" on Urban Dictionary, which is hilarious.

Change it to something non-gendered but keep "the W" as an easy nickname.
