[[File:George Ignatieff Theatre, Trinity College.jpg|thumb|upright=1|right|George Ignatieff Theatre]]Trinity College suffered from a spate of negative media stories across the 1990s. In 1991 students began campaigning against Episkopon, a long-standing Trinity student society. Episkopon was founded in 1858 with the objective of providing "gentle chastisement" to errant members of college.<ref>Watson, Andrew. ''Trinity, 1852–1952.'' Trinity University Review, 1952, pp. 34–41.</ref> By the 1980s, some students began accusing the society of singling out students for racist, sexist, and homophobic attacks. This campaign attracted considerable press, and a statement of support from [[Marion Boyd]], Ontario's Minister for the Status of Women. In fall 1991, an outspoken student critic of Episkopon was doused in a bucket of urine and feces in what was reported as an act of retribution.<ref>{{cite news |last=Scott |first=Marilyn |date=October 21, 1991 |title=Episkopon Critic Target of Prank |work=[[The Varsity (newspaper)|The Varsity]] |location=Toronto}}</ref> In 1992, the College Council voted to dissociate Trinity from Episkopon, denying it student funds, official status, and the use of college property.<ref>{{cite news |last=Mitchell |first=Alanna |date=September 5, 1992 |title=The Tumult Over Episkopon |work=The Toronto Star |location=Toronto}}</ref>

The turn of the century brought substantial changes to Trinity College. In 2005, Provost [[Margaret MacMillan]], a famed historian and herself a Trinity graduate, ended the practice of gender-segregated residences. Whereas previously all women lived in St. Hilda's College and all men in the main Trinity building, under MacMillan co-education came to both buildings, with individual floors being designated single-sex.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.trinity.utoronto.ca/discover/news/item/celebrating-leaders-of-st-hildas-college/|title = Celebrating Leaders of St. Hilda's College}}</ref>
