Whereas, Ithaca College strives to become the standard of excellence for
residential comprehensive colleges
Whereas, Ithaca College strives to foster an environment that values
diversity as an integral part of the educational experience and of the
community
Whereas, Ithaca College is currently lacking a gender-neutral housing
option; despite listing on multiple web resources as having a genderneutral housing program in place
Whereas, Ithaca College implemented a gender-neutral housing program
for the 2008-2009 academic year, the program was then discontinued
for the 2010-2011 academic year
Whereas, There is currently no option in the housing selection process for
students to choose gender-neutral housing
It is resolved that Ithaca College Student Government Association
formally recommends to the Ithaca College Office of Residential Life
that the office implements a new gender-neutral housing option
during the housing selection process beginning in the housing
selection process of 2015-2016.
