Abstract: Gender-neutral housing has recently become an option at colleges and universities across theU.S. Chief housing officers at Association of College and University Housing Officers-International member institutions were surveyed online about the status of gender-neutralhousing at their respective campuses, using an instrument adapted by the researchers from the1979 work of DeCoster on coeducational housing. Gender-neutral housing has been discussed orconsidered at most (approximately 85.6%) of the 306 responding campuses; only about 14.4% ofresponding institutions reported that they had not considered it at all. When obstacles wereencountered, the most common were lack of suitable housing facilities, public relations concerns, lack of upper-level support, and lack of student interest. Existing gender-neutral housing policies at responding institutions were analyzed for themes.
