Why is Mrs. Crews not attending this forum? She is the reason that there is no gender neutral housing in the first place.

Do you really expect people who have reservations about the plan to come forward in this meeting, and be declared unsympathetic godknowwhats. Those with reservations about this won’t come… those in favor of it will, and you will continue to get a skewed picture. So enjoy!

This meeting is meant to show public support. So far there has very little opposition raised to Gender Neutral Housing Proposal, or ‘Open Housing’ as it would be called.
Those with concerns should attend and, if they don’t feel comfortable as they very well might not, then they’re encouraged to contact SG or Kim directly.
I understand people have strong beliefs that sometimes run counter to most of the campus’s view, and I understand that people don’t want to get publicaly labeled and harassed because of these views.
But there just hasn’t been a lot of opposition raised so far. So if you are opposed, please speak out in public or private. And if you’re in favor, come out to the meeting and tell Kim Goff-Crews you want Gender Neutral Housing,.
