The Implementation of Gender-Inclusive Housing at ACUHO-I Member Institutions
Taub, Deborah J.; Johnson, R. Bradley; Barber, Renae; Ottens, Mack
Journal of College and University Student Housing, v49 n2 p10-27 2023
Gender-inclusive housing (GIH) continues to grow as an option for consideration at colleges and universities across the U.S. A follow-up to a 2016 study by Taub and colleagues was conducted to gauge and assess developmental growth trends of GIH within campus housing. A majority of 184 participants (n = 129) reported that their institution has either implemented a full or trial GIH program, while another quarter (n = 48) reported being in the discussion stage. Only six respondents reported not having considered GIH at all in their housing procedures. These data show that, compared to the conclusions of previous studies, a more pronounced movement toward implementation of GIH is occurring beyond the stage of simple discussions. The most common obstacles that institutions reported about the implementation of GIH were parent/family concerns, public relations concerns, and lack of suitable housing facilities. Similar to the 2016 study by Taub and colleagues, current policies related to gender-inclusive housing at participating institutions were further analyzed. [The discussion questions at the close of this article were developed by Kayley Carter and Lauren Oliver.]
