Gender segregation advice in UK universities and male-only priest church involvement in Scottsh education

Your correspondent Veronica Wikman is right to condemn Universities UK advice that gender segregation in audiences would be acceptable to meet the religious requirements of external speakers.

But should not that organisation seek to change the law rather than issue such objectionable advice?
