Diamond Hall Gender Inclusive Floor

What is Gender Inclusive Housing?
Gender is as diverse as race or religion. Southern Oregon University wanted to create an environment where people did not have to identify with a gender label. The Gender Inclusive floor will not take gender as a factor into the housing application process. It is not advised that people in romantic relationships live together.

What about the bathroom?
The bathroom on the Gender Inclusive floor has been remodeled. The bathroom stalls go from floor to ceiling, providing an extra level of privacy. The shower stalls have the same floor to ceiling divider and an additional changing room has been installed.

Who can live here?
Students that desire to live with people of differing genders. This is not a place for romantic couples to live together.

How will roommates be chosen?
Southern Oregon University will use the standard roommate questionnaire, but will not take gender as a factor in deciding roommates.
