University of Virginia Library

Security and Sacrilege

3. Women require greater
security precautions and the
Gwathmey-Munford area is better
suited for that purpose. This ignores
the fact that there have been more
security problems this year in that
area than over in Alderman Road.
Additionally, the presence of men
in the area would probably enhance
the security aspect as the women
would not be forced to walk
around late at night going to and
from the library, for example, by
themselves.

4. Gwathmey dorm is named
after the first Dean of Women at
the University and it would be some
type of sacrilege to have men living
there. Is this the type of substance
that University decisions are based
on?
