NY Times

The NY Times had a story on co-ed college dorm restrooms, how that is becoming more prevalent across the country. Gross. Is nothing sacred? Would I really want the opposite sex to know how gassy I am? Can we leave the surprise inside a surprise? When I was in college, one of my friends in a public dorm was issued keys for her restroom b/c guys kept getting in there and hiding out. I guess they don't have to worry about keys anymore.
They also had a story about how at the University of Pennsylvania admission officials forward the names of any admitted students who indicate in their essay that they are gay to the university's G/L/TG support organization. Thats crazy! What if you don't want people to know? It doesn't sound like there is a presumption of privacy. If you have mental issues or other type of issue that has negative connotations and you express that in a college essay, are they going to forward your name to some campus group that deals w/ it? I think that goes too far.
Both issues involve privacy vs. demystification
