Gender Inclusive Housing
Gender-Inclusive Housing
居住生活
The Office of 居住生活 is committed to fostering a living community that values diversity, promotes the dignity of all people, and is welcoming, safe and inclusive. To honor this commitment, we offer 性别-inclusive housing for all resident students.
Gender-inclusive housing is a housing option in which two or more students share the common areas of a multiple-occupancy apartment, suite or residence hall room regardless of their sex assigned at birth, 性别, 性别 identity or 性别 expression.
What is 性别-inclusive housing?
Gender-inclusive housing is available to any student who wishes to be housed according to their 性别 identity. It is a living community that is welcoming, safe and inclusive.
Who can participate?
Resident students who wish to be housed by their 性别 identity, including but not limited to:
- Trans性别 students
- Gender queer students
- Students who are currently transitioning from one 性别 to another
- Students who do not conform to assigned 性别 at birth
- Students who do not wish to be identified by any sex or 性别 identity
- Students who are in the process of discovering their 性别 identity
- Students who identify as allies and respect people with the above identities and lived experiences
How are roommates chosen/matched?
Students can select their own roommate(s). If you are unable to identify a roommate, 居住生活 will match you with a roommate(s) during the assignment process.
Can individuals who are romantically involved or in a relationship live together?
Gender-inclusive housing and all on-campus housing options are not intended for romantic relationships, couples or partners. 居住生活 discourages students of any sexual orientation or 性别 who are in a relationship from living together in a residence hall room or housing unit. Students do not have to disclose their reasons for requesting 性别-inclusive housing.
What housing options are available?
First-year students: 沃尔格林大厅
二年级: William Watts Sherman House
Juniors and seniors: Fairlawn Apartments
What are the requirements for 性别-inclusive housing?
To foster a welcoming, safe and inclusive living experience, residents are encouraged to observe the following community standards and specifications:
- Model behavior that reflects a positive value and respect for all identities, including but not limited to 性别 identity, sexual orientation, 比赛, ethnicity and religion.
- Work to create and promote a safe, affirming and inclusive community for all students.
- Use inclusive and socially just language and the preferred names and 性别 pronouns of community members.
Housing assignments are for one academic year and students will need to reapply each year. Students living in 性别-inclusive housing may share a room with students of any 性别, 性别 identity or 性别 expression.
