The University of North Dakota is offering a special housing option for students “interested in learning more about and practicing principles of social justice,” reports Campus Reform.
The newly established Social Justice Living-Learning Community will endeavor to provide social justice-oriented students with opportunities for “creating and leading positive social change,” according to its website.
The Social Justice LLC is intended to create a welcoming atmosphere for all students, regardless of “age, size, gender, sexual orientation, identity or identity expression, disability, race, ethnicity, color, creed, national origin, cultural background, socio-economic status, or religious affiliation or conviction.”
The new community will give to students the option of requesting “gender inclusive housing assignments,” meaning that students will be able to choose a roommate “with whom they are most comfortable without consideration to the individual’s sex, gender or gender expression.”
Students are further encouraged to invite guest speakers and host events “designed to help broaden their understanding of social justice.”
The Social Justice LLC is not the first such housing community at the University of North Dakota. Four others currently exist for students interested in Aviation, Engineering & Mines, Wellness, and for Honors students.
The Social Justice community is open to new and returning students of all majors. Student wishing to live there must simply indicate their preference on their housing applications.
