Quote:Students at St. Mary’s College of Maryland no longer have to consider gender when selecting a roommate under a new open-housing policy that allows students of the opposite sex to live together in the same room.

The open-housing policy was designed to provide better housing arrangements for students who do not identify with their birth sex or are uncomfortable living with students of the same gender, said Joanne Goldwater, director of residence life and associate dean of students.

The policy “is going to ensure that our students have a safe space to live,” Goldwater said.

Students at the public liberal arts school in Southern Maryland must opt into the program, and students will not be randomly assigned an opposite-sex roommate without their consent. The school has about 1,800 students for the fall 2013 semester.

There are currently 18 students living on the college’s open-housing floor in Prince George Hall, but only two students of the opposite sex are living together, Goldwater said.

I would have been down for that.

At Alabama the girls dorm had plenty of guys in it every night regardless of the 'rules.'

Good ole Julia Tuteiller Hall, knows as "14 floors of whores."

At UAB the dorms are coed but the rooms are not. I think there's one room of guys on my daughter's entire floor.

My daughter will be going to a college she will commute to because of crap like this. Imagine moving your daughter into a room and then walks in Lawrence Taylor with a dress bringing in his stuff.

Yeah, that probably happens all the time.

More kids that have to pay student loans that dropped out from pregnancy and will have to come back in 10 years to start over.

Follow the money.

Thats how it was at UB... There were "quads" in the dorms where four rooms shared a bathroom. The Quads were gender specific.

lucky bastards

So I guess the movie "Animal House" is now sexist because the frat houses were divided by gender.

All the time. In NoRespect's world.



And even worse, they will force his daughter to became a male.

Or, get a worthless on-line degree that costs ten's of thousands from a crack-pot "university" based in Lynchburg, VA.

Hmmm. I just hired a guy with a worthless degree from that crackpot school... beat out a guy from ND and a guy from VT for the spot.

I suspect there's a ton of other people that hire similarly.

Kind of a low blow.

Of course you did. Probably checked to make sure he was a KKK member as well.

At least his work ethics won't be questioned.

Good ole Julia Tuteiller Hall, knows as "14 floors of whores."

In New Hall, one of the RAs briefly had a live-in boyfriend when I was there - while it was a coed dorm, that definitely wasn't part of the design.
