Harvard University’s Faculty Council has agreed to allow male and female students to live together, The Crimson reports.
The decision marks the expansion of a pilot program for mixed-sex housing at the Ivy League institution into a campus-wide program.
Under the new policy, students must ask permission from the dorm administrator, who will allow it on a case-by-case basis based on availability and other various circumstances, the Crimson reports.
Last fall, a majority of Harvard students voted in favor of mixed-gender housing in a campus referendum.
Harvard’s move marks the latest addition to the mixed-gender housing trend on college campuses nationwide. That is, male and female college students living in the same dorm room together.
The notion used to raise eyebrows, even flair controversy. Today, it’s par for the course, as a growing number of universities continue to allow the trend. A count by The Los Angeles Times put the number at 50-plus campuses and growing.
(By the way, the politically correct term for it now is “gender-neutral housing.”)
