I feel this is the thin end of a wedge.
It has come to light that some "guest" lecturers are asking for male / female segregation or they will not conduct their lectures. The example in the media is Muslim speakers who refuse to talk unless the class is segregated.
What a backward step for equality.
What next? Gays on the back row  |

I would choose not to attend a segregated lecture and I feel that as this isn't a country where legislated segregation takes place that visiting lecturers have a clear choice....lecture to mixed sexes or not at all. |

likewise... and I'm confident that pretty much all the students at my university would say the same. |

Its fact it happens sadly the universities clearly at fault for pandering to a monority if the lecturers ask for segregation they should be told to fuck off as maybe other lecturers that are normal.
We need to be clear in law covering absolutely every aspect of life whether it be university workplace or religion that segregation is illegal and not part of our way of life sadly there will be others that agree with it. |

Sometimes it's best to talk to the students themselves and see what it is that they prefer. If that's how they want to conduct their programmes then just let them do it. There's no harm.
...the girls may want to sit with the girls and the boys with the boys. Equality doesn't come in to it i don't think. It's just seating arrangements.
We're all humans at the end of the day - can't get anymore equal than that. If people can't respect each other through that - then we're fucked! No one person holds the same views and I for one, really don't give a dogs bollocks.
...i hold respect for whatever belief or values a person may hold. And if that's how they like things done. Then, so be it.
Isn't the end of the world - although we got another storm coming!!

If boys wanted to sit with boys etc it would sort itself out naturally. This is lecturers refusing to speak unless they are segregated, in my opinion that is favouring one persons preference over and above the preference of the many and that isn't right. |

As I understand it it is not the students that want segregation it is a recommendation by Universities UK. I also hear that they have now withdrawn their recommendation after Mr Cameron said it was wrong...
I do not agree with Mr Cameron often but for once I am in full agreement with him! |

I don't think it was Universities UK makIng the reccomendation, but they certainly were backing up the speakers asking for this to start with.
Yes very happy to hear that many people like Cameron are vehemently decrying this situation. |

So in fact this is one of a number of hypothetical case studies examined by experts who advised that in order to not be seen as curtailing free speech discrimination law could be challenged. No specific real life incidence is mentioned.

"I would go and purposely sit in the area for the opposite sex and encourage others to do the same . "

We are in the middle of a revolution...
A fundamentalist Christian and Islamic revolution and political correctness will march us back a 1000 years to the dark ages...  |
