At Harvard, Students’ Muslim Traditions Are a Topic of Debate

When I think of Muslim Women I usually think of them wearing the traditional clothes of their religion. so I believe that it was a good idea for Harvard to allow different gym hours for women and men. I think that it is a good and bad thing to do because the muslim women get to work out in the gym in the privacy of being in a women only facility. But their have been a few complaints to this new policy, people have said that the women get the peak gym hours and women are not coming the gym is just sitting almost empty. Also some of the upperclassmen are feeling annoyed because their main and best gym is being let to the other gender and they have no input, in the situation. I think that it was idea to give the women different gym hours away from men to respect the muslim traditions, but their should have done it a little different to comply with everyone.
