美國喬治華盛頓大學允許男女生混住 開國際先例

According to the on December 4, George Washington University this week announced that students can share dorm rooms with anyone they want - regardless of gender。

The decision puts GWU at the forefront of the movement toward gender-neutral housing policies at many of the nation's top schools. But where most have limited coed rooms to some upper-class housing, GWU is opening the option to all students, including incoming freshmen。

American University has offered coed rooms in apartment buildings since last school year and plans to expand the program. Goucher College in suburban Baltimore offers gender-neutral housing in two dorms. Similar moves are under consideration at Towson University, Washington College and St. Mary's College of Maryland。

Michael R. Komo, a senior political science major in GWU，said，"I really think it's a win-win for everyone, even for the straight folks who just want to live with their friends."

據美國《華盛頓郵報》網站12月4日報道，美國喬治華盛頓大學(George Washington University)本週宣佈，住在學校宿舍的學生可以自由選擇室友的性別，也就是允許男女混住。

這一決定把喬治華盛頓大學推到全國正在進行的"男女混住運動"的風頭浪尖上。儘管美國許多頂尖高等學府現在都實行"男女混住"的住宿政策，但大多隻允許高年級的住宿學生可以選擇男女同住一屋。喬治華盛頓大學(本週宣佈的措施)首開國際先例，新生住宿生都可以選擇與異性室友同住一室。

從上一學年起，美國高校的公寓樓就開始提供男女同住的宿舍，並將計劃推進這一舉措。位於巴爾的摩郊區的戈切爾學院的兩棟宿舍樓都提供男女同住的宿舍。美國其他高校也在考慮實行類似舉措，例如，陶森大學、華盛頓學院和馬里蘭聖瑪利亞學院。

喬治華盛頓大學政治學主任Michael R. Komo稱："我真的認爲這是一個雙贏計劃，尤其是對於那些想和自己朋友住在一起的同性戀同學來說"。
