<p>“Now who gets to do decide what is “reasonable” and what is not?”</p>
<p>That would be the private institution setting the rules. If someone thinks the private institution is in violation of some law, they can sue, in which case a court will decide what’s reasonable. Every kind of institution makes judgments about reasonableness every day.</p>
<p>“building a new gym instead of taking away gym hours from others.”</p>
<p>Are you serious? You think that devoting $10 million worth of college money and space to an entire building dedicated solely to women is more fair to men than assigning an existing building 6 hours a week? In one case you’re talking about millions of dollars being reserved for the exclusive benefit of women and in the other you’re talking about time worth a few thousand dollars being reserved for women. How does that fix the problem you allege?</p>
<p>“You are failing to consider my statement “for the most part”.”</p>
<p>That’s true. I think VMI being forced to go coed or shut its doors, on the one hand, and Bryn Mawr being allowed to do exactly what it wants gender-wise, on the other hand, is in the “most part.” I think VMI would tell you that that’s quite a significant difference in the law.</p>
