TO THE EDITOR:
We are pleased to announce that on Saturday the UNC Association of Student Governments endorsed establishing a gender nonspecific housing option at UNC-Chapel Hill.
Gender nonspecific housing allows individuals of any sexual orientation, gender expression and gender identity to room together.
By implementing this housing, UNC will provide a safe and accessible housing option for students who feel uncomfortable or face discrimination in current gendered residence halls, particularly for first-year students who are required to live on campus.
On Wednesday, the Gender Non-Specific Housing Coalition will present to the UNC Board of Trustees at 3:15 p.m. at the Carolina Inn. We strongly encourage students to attend the meeting to show their support for this initiative. Don’t forget to wear your Carolina blue T-shirts!
Making all students feel welcome and included in our campus community is the Carolina Way. As student government representatives and UNC-system Association of Student Governments delegates, we proudly support gender nonspecific housing at UNC.
