Junior Sam Theodosopolous, a junior majoring in political science and the editor-at-large of the GW Young America’s Foundation Blog, argues that the gender neutral housing debate taking place in the SA Senate should be resolved against the gender neutral option.
Our campus, as evidenced by recent actions by the Student Association and editorials in our newspaper, has become engrossed by the latest trend in higher education: the imagined right of students to room with students of the opposite sex. If the University decides to adopt the provisions of Michael Komo’s Student Association bill and offer gender-neutral housing, the student government at GW will have decided to engage in social engineering by advocating a “test” program allowing students of the same gender to share one residence hall room.
