Neutralizing a problem
'U' should adopt gender-neutral housing, not fall behind

By Daily Editorial Staff on 4/14/08

Beginning this year, several of the nation's top schools have started offering gender-neutral housing options. But while schools like Dartmouth College and Stanford University are leading the way, the University of Michigan has remained passive on this issue so far, attributing its inactivity to a lack of demand. But the University must be proactive in creating a welcoming, progressive environment for transgender students.

Dartmouth and Stanford are both private, UofM is public, huge difference in how they are run.  And if UofM is right - if no one there is interested, then why bother?  Though I don't think that is true.
FIGHT APATHY!, or don't...
