Statement of Purpose
Gender-Neutral housing is an environment where student housing is not restricted to traditional limitations of the gender binary. This program is ideal for students whose gender identification and/or gender expression varies from the standard paradigm and for students who believe that their gender should not factor into the decision of whom to live with. Students may choose a roommate of any gender, and will not be asked by the Department of Residential Life to identify their own gender during the selection process. Students who do not have a roommate will be assigned a roommate without the consideration of gender. The program is open to any students who are committed to the purpose of the gender-neutral program and feel it meets their own needs. Each resident who lives in the program must agree to the Gender-Neutral Housing Agreement and will have responsibility to develop and uphold the standards for the community which are in congruence with the core value of valuing all persons and seeking to learn from their diverse experiences and perspectives.
