性别包容性住房
The mission of Oakland 大学的宿舍 is to provide a safe living and learning experience that promotes a sense of community, 公民责任, and an appreciation for individual differences.
In keeping with our recognition of personal well-being as a critical component of each students’ residential experience, we are pleased to offer a Gender-Inclusive housing option. Gender-Inclusive housing provides the opportunity for two or more students to share a room or suite regardless of the students’ sex, 性别, 性别认同, 或者性别表达.
Gender-Inclusive housing is available to both new, incoming residents and returning residents, and provides students the option to reside with a person of a different 性别 or sex in order to achieve a welcoming living environment. This type of housing option may be especially important for:
- Students in the process of discovering their 性别 identity
- Students who do not wish to identify themselves by 性别
- Gay, lesbian, bisexual, or trans性别 students
- Students who feel more comfortable with a roommate of a specific 性别认同
Students who are interested in participating in Gender-Inclusive housing will have the opportunity to choose that living option while completing the online contract required of all future residents. Should the student have a known preferred roommate, their roommate should also indicate their interest in participating in Gender-Inclusive housing during the completion of their own contract.
If the student does not select a roommate during the selection period, additional students who have indicated interest in the Gender-Inclusive housing option will fill any remaining space(s) in their room or suite. Students who are uncertain about how to match with a roommate may contact our Assistant Director for Assignments and Summer Conferences, Matt Belanger (电子邮件保护) 支持.
Oakland 大学的宿舍 discourages residents who are in relationships from living together in the residence halls or student apartments, regardless of their sexual orientation and/or 性别 identity.
The privacy of our student residents is taken seriously, and it is the student’s choice to communicate with parents or other family members about the decision to live in a 性别 inclusive environment. Open dialogue between students and their families is, 然而, 鼓励, so that those members can be in support of the student’s decisions about their housing options.
Students who have specific concerns or questions about 性别 inclusive housing, 室友匹配, and room assignments are able to work directly with 大学的宿舍’s Assistant Director for Assignments and Summer Conferences, Matt Belanger by emailing (电子邮件保护).
