A brief description of the program, policy, or practice:
Gender-neutral housing will be an opt-in program on Central Campus and male and female students will be able to live in the same apartment. Students who choose gender-neutral housing will be placed in the same housing lottery as other students. Coed housing at Duke is defined as males living next to females with single-gender bathrooms. This will be put into place as a small, opt-in residential program, similar to the Wellness Community or the East Meets West program. This means male and female students will be allowed to block together and live in the same hall.

None
