Following heated debate over the Kinnick Stadium’s pink visiting locker rooms, UI President David Skorton abruptly ended the university’s involvement and said the school will not further investigate the issue. For now, it appears, the locker room will keep its pink walls.
Skorton on Thursday announced his decision to take no action toward investigating alleged sexism and homophobia in the locker room’s hue, after meeting with the University Steering Committee for the NCAA Certification Review.
“Because I’m a girl, I’m feeling too docile and passive to respond with a comment,” said Associate Professor of law Jill Gaulding, who previously had spoken out against the color of the locker rooms.
