CV NEWS FEED// The Jesuit-founded Georgetown University will offer “gender-inclusive” housing to freshmen in the fall of 2024, as voted for by current students in a recent referendum.
When filling out dorm room applications, students can “indicate they identify as transgender, non-binary, or gender non-conforming individual seeking gender inclusive housing,” the statement reports. Students will also have the option to indicate “they are welcoming and affirming of LGBTQ individuals and wish to be considered as a potential roommate for students seeking gender inclusive housing.”
According to The College Fix, the student referendum passed with 91 percent of the students who voted favoring the measure. However, voter turnout was a mere 31 percent.
Georgetown has co-ed dormitory buildings, according to their website, though single-sex floors are available upon request. However, “All residence hall bedrooms and apartments are assigned same-sex,” their housing handbook states. The handbook also states that the Office of Residential Living will find “safe and appropriate housing” on a case-by-case basis for “transgender, non-binary or gender non-conforming” students.
The university has a “LGBTQ Resource Center,” whose website states that the center “is among the first such centers of its kind at a Catholic/Jesuit institution in the country.”
The self-declared Catholic university has violated Catholic teaching in the past by hosting a “Christian” abortionist as part of their lecture series, The College Fix reports.
