Permission Sign-Out Form Protest

When a female student wanted to leave the campus before 7:00 am or after 7:30pm, a sign out sheet had to be completed. The student had to provide her destination and the time she intended to return. If the student found that she was going to be late, she was required to call the head resident. If she was more then 15 minutes late, the student would have to appear in front of the Women's Judiciary Board. These rules did not apply to the male students. In protest of the rules, student Kathleen Moriarty refused to sign either in or out. She also circulated a petition asking women students for their support in abolishing the sign-out procedures as she considered them to be a blatant double standard.
