We, as female uos students who do not reside in the university’s campus do not accept the new rule which doesnt allow us to enter or leave the university’s campus with our other female friends.

This is a step backwards to female’s independence and rights. Not to mention, I am sure everyone is well aware of the parking problem the whole campus suffers from. Carpooling with your friends not only is helpful and more convenient to you and your friends, it should be to the university as well. In addition, asking every female student to bring their parents in order to sign paperwork that humilates and demeans us and our basic rights is an inconvenience and nuisanc for us all.

This petition aims to bring forward a fair amount of responses so that when the board responsible for this is spoken to, we would be able to provide evidence this is a rule we do NOT accept and is problematic for a large number of people.

Thank you,

Please dont sign this petition unless you put your UNIVERSITY EMAIL

This university shows us everyday how sexist it is by applying new rules ONLY FOR FEMALE STUDENTS that are so disrespectful for us and clearly don’t serve the majority. Every female student who doesn’t live in uos jail (dorms) has the right to go out whenever she wants to. I refuse to follow this rule

This rule is OFFENSIVE ! What if my car got damaged suddenly and I had to come with someone else until it’s fixed ! It is not school anymore and we are not miners , we are responsible of our own actions .

When my friend got her father to get the permission to leave with me the security kept questioning him and tried to convince him to change his mind about giving my friend the permission to leave with me. We're not kids anymore.

I'm a final year medical student, almost a doctor, and I have to deal with this everyday when I leave the library at night. Trust me, if a girl wants to do something bad/inappropriate, she will do it even if you lock her up in the dorms.

This is unacceptable and nonsensical. When signing up to join this university, we never agree to these terms - in fact we are told nothing of them. Besides being blatantly unfair, it's also impractical as some students carpool to and from university regularly. It curtails our freedom for no good reason.

Highly inconvenient not to mention aggravating and degradatory to be treated as such in the university I have been attending for 5years now At least don't make it mandatory for parents to have to come to sign the permission form Don't punish all for the mistakes of a few
