The Daily Lobo has questioned the University of New Mexico's sleepover policy in its dorms, asking university officials what it means for same-sex couples. The policy prohibits a person of the opposite sex from spending the night in a student's dorm room, while a person of the same sex can stay over for up to three days as long as he or she checks in with the front desk. According to a school official, the policy is in place to protect roommates' privacy. The school plans to look into the issue, if there even is one.

Dorms have always assumed for the purposes of morality (or the appearance of morality to the public) that there is no such thing as gay people. Prohibit the "opposite" sex stuff and assume that gay stuff does not exist. That has passed muster for a century. You mean it's odd policy?
