Lehigh hopes to offer students an on-campus, gender-neutral housing option within the next few years, and a committee is in the process of implementing a plan to get it done.
Gender-neutral housing will be inclusive of transgender and gender nonconforming needs, which will include gender-neutral bathrooms and students being able to choose a roommate of any gender, Timothy Gardner, director of LGBTQIA services, said.
