sexual apartheid in british universities

Having a student grand-daughter, I was angry at the guidelines published by UniversitiesUk, 'the voice of the universities' which allowed Universities to segregate male and female students in lectures, or even, put women in a separate room with a feed from the lecture! Having spent my life pleading for religious tolerance, I now find extremist minorities being allowed to impose their views on tolerant old me! This contradicts all our move to women's rights in this country, and I have set up a petition at
