WVU students say dorm visitor policy disciminates

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) —
Some students at West Virginia University say a policy forbidding visitors of the opposite sex from staying overnight in dorm rooms is discriminatory.
Sit-ins were planned Wednesday night outside most of WVU’s dorms to protest the policy.
Residence Hall Association President Justin Griffiths says some students believe the policy is discriminatory because gay and lesbian students can sign in significant others for overnight stays while heterosexual couples can’t.
Griffiths says he sees it as a safety issue. If students are sneaking people in, the university doesn’t know who is in its dorms.
WVU spokesman John Bolt says dorm rooms aren’t policed for illegitimate
Yeah... I never understood the strict dorm visitor policies, either. I know they were never really enforced while I was at MU. I wasn't a "dormer" but several of my classmates and friends hosted their significant others overnight.
In fact, for a couple of my friends who were freshmen and still dating high school chicks, it was rather common.
