SA to Vote on Gender-Neutral Housing

The Student Association will vote on the 2010 Equal Housing Opportunity Act on Tuesday after the legislation passed the Student Life committee in a 7-1 vote last week.  If passed, the Act would provide gender-neutral housing in at least one residence hall for each class. The bill will also mandate that a transgender option be included on the housing application in addition to the male or female option.

Michael Komo '11, the original sponsor of the bill, said he was "very optimistic" of the chances of passage in the SA after receiving the endorsement of the idea of gender neutral housing from the Residence Advisory Councils in a 73-15 vote Monday night. The Residential Hall Association executive board endorsed the specific legislation shortly thereafter on Monday night.
