It’s hard to explain the level of scrutiny the university’s handling of this will face, but I’m going to try. Properly handling sexual assault & harassment is MSU’s glaring weak spot and this is the biggest imaginable test. 🧵

This is the first time in decades that discrimination on the basis of identity has been deemed permissible in public accommodations. Expect right to discriminate claims to proliferate.
