Members of Northwestern's Gender Protection Initiative plan to keep fighting for a gender-neutral housing option on campus despite the recent rejection of their original proposal, Initiative President Mugsie Pike said.

Three Gender Protection Initiative members and LGBT Center Coordinator Doris Dirks presented the proposal to the housing and food service policy advisory committee during Winter Quarter, the Communication senior said, but ultimately did not convince the committee to make any changes.

"They've just presented it at least as feeling as if they're doing enough, and they need to be made aware that they're not," Pike said. "If the students don't know the student experience, who does?"
