The Student Senate today passed a piece of joint legislation [pdf] supporting the creation of a Gender Neutral Housing program at Northeastern University. The legislation passed with a vote of 35 in favor, 3 against, and some abstaining. On Wednesday, in 335 Shillman Hall at 7:30 PM, the General Council of the Resident Student Association will hear, and hopefully, in accordance with the recommendation of the Housing Services Committee, pass, the legislation allowing it to be sent onto the administration along with the proposal [pdf] for Gender Neutral Housing.

I am an alumni of Northeastern. Class of 2002. I moved off-campus after my first year at Northeastern because of the lack of gender neutral housing on-campus. The University's discriminatory policies prevented me from living with someone who I felt comfortable living with, forcing me off-campus. I hope that the General Council will pass this legislation on Wednesday, and I am glad to see that Student Government has passed it. For many students, they will be able to remain on campus and get more for the money they are paying.
This, unlike the Greek Housing, is a good idea.
