I'm guessing the price tag got set by the lawyer based on being low enough to not be thrown out for being frivolous, but high enough to dwarf the cost to add a female facility to the building, just to drive the point home that the school was being retarded

With that said though, let's see if she'll drop the case if UBC offers to build her the facilities. |
hum, you are right, this isn't the 60's. Men and Women aren't so concerned about cooties anymore, and people actually *gasp* SHARE bathrooms. imagine that!

It would cost UBC a lot to upgrade the plumbing and build new showers...$25K is peanuts. It would have cost them at least 4 times to build a new shower room.
If she wins this case, it will set a precedent in other buildings at UBC.
