MU Students Seek Coed Rooms

Frankie Minor, director of the University of Missouri's Residential Life Department, told The Columbia Daily Tribune (http://bit.ly/Q8iA7G ) that there are a few issues, like space, that the university needs to resolve before adopting gender-neutral housing.

Minor also says he hopes to develop a solution by next fall and is seeking advice from other universities.

Elsewhere in Missouri, Washington University in St. Louis and Northwest Missouri State both offer gender-neutral housing. Northwest Missouri began its gender-neutral housing program this fall after requests from transgendered students, but the program is open to all students.
